It is difficult to get the public's understanding of complex data patterns and issues. Charts sometimes work, but don't contribute to widespread understanding and acceptance of the message (remember Ross Perot). And now, several weeks/months into this event, and the leaders are not clearly communicating the basis of decisions being made, or the fuzzy data trends caused by delayed critical results, and are creating additional anxiety for the general public's understanding. This provides an opportunity for their opposition to distort and take advantage of a gullible public opinion at a crucial time, when their patience and frustration have been worn thin by an overload of details regarding very complex issues, that quite frankly are extremely boring at times. The opposition has an opportunity to create 'click-bait' of all decisions made, and that can be very bad for the future of anyone who depends on votes to be employed. Unless, of course, there are no mistakes made and the results prove the decision process was accurate. Hopefully, time and results prove which of our leaders deserve to continue as our leaders. I like Kemp....even my 90 year old mother-in-law, a staunch lifelong liberal, has declared that his leadership has been sound and she would vote for him. Only time will tell.

We need to continue to pray for our leaders!

Thanks Erick for your continuous clarification, honesty, and faith!
