The fact that we are still talking about the 'lesser of two evils' to the point that for a very high percent (not just single digits like we usually have), both are so vile and corrupt it is difficult to tell the lesser and people choose neither, says a lot about how bad the system has become.
In just four years, we've gone from the lesser of two evils in Romney versus Obama, where even with Romney, many may have had problems with him but most didn't actually think he was vile and evil, to this, shows the vast and rapid decline on our side.
(at that, the Conservative rate of voting actually stayed the same with McCain and Romney going back to trends, so those that sat out were minimal- now we are looking at upward of 30% polling who can't vote for the Republican candidate (and the Democrats are having similar issues))- http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/423363/conservative-purists-didnt-sit-out-last-two-elections-ramesh-ponnuru )
Yes but I do think it's been going on further back as well......it can be no other way as there are none devoid of 'evil' in one form or another. Some are just far better at hiding it than others.
Furthermore it's no longer about 'good men' rising to the top of the heap as the heap is nothing more than those who have or can generate the funding to run for office, and both. ... so it's a "bought" presidency no matter how any one looks at it.
We have what we get because the population on a whole has permitted so......Trump and Sanders both represented an angry population fed up with the political status quo......so one of the two indeed shake the entire filed and here we are.......now everyone's complaining.....go figure......
As Ii see it none in Washington were listening to the people and this just evidences so. Further the population isn't the American population it once was.......The steady expansion of welfare programs can be taken as a measure of the steady disintegration of the population as migrants/illegals come here to take advantage of this "free ride' going so far as demanding it's their right..... and many here were already generational families remaining on the rolls for a lifetime. It's their standard.
Sp here we are...
