    Yes, it can and that’s why we should keep trying.

    But it does seem less likely than in 2016.

    I’m not desperate (am Canadian) but I don’t blame desperate people.

    The ends don’t justify the means but no one is denying that they do get results.

    And that the correct means have been tried for decades.

      I feel like we’ve made more progress in our national discussion regarfing healthcare since the assassination than we have in the previous 10 years.

      I don’t want to think that violence is the answer, but damn if it ain’t a conversation starter.

        There’s also the fact that the day after many insurance companies were suddenly approving procedures they denied the day before.

        In all likelihood the assassination saved lives.
