Trump's Washington paralysis forcing awareness of State power. Jerry Brown gets it

How American Politics Went Insane is a podcast interview of Jonathan Rauch where he speaks of the demise of machine politics and its central command and control discipline to moderate and drive debate to the political center.  Now politics is fragmented and Washington unworkable. Rather than wishing for what was he should look around and consider what has happened to other institutions, such as network nightly news,  whose hierarchies have leveled and power dispersed for the last twenty years. Ron Chernow's Hamilton  and Henry Adam's History of the United States show the  political scene in our country's early years as rampant with fake news and vain glorious individuals who make our current political debate look tame. The difference was that Federal government was in its infancy with little influence and power and it was for the States to resolve political issues locally. Its called Federalism. Trump's tweet storm paralyzing Washington today is forcing awareness of State power. Governor Jerry Brown of California is the first to recognize it.
