Then your winner would get elected with only a third of the votes cast. You can't believe that would be better than what we have now.Catalysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804837416104556928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-70186922238998846682016-04-12T19:46:24.537-05:002016-04-12T19:46:24.537-05:00And here you thought Democrats and Republicans cou...And here you thought Democrats and Republicans couldn't agree or work together on ANYTHING!Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-37283613317110252762016-04-12T18:24:07.466-05:002016-04-12T18:24:07.466-05:00It's the same thing with the Democrats.

It has needed to be dealt with a long time ago but most of the time it doesn't matter because no one's suicidal enough to go against the wishes of the people. But this year might be different as both parties are looking for a "safe" candidate.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-21484276275263010402016-04-12T15:43:31.231-05:002016-04-12T15:43:31.231-05:00But we didn't have entrenched political partie...But we didn't have entrenched political parties back in our Founding Father's day.

We have a representative democracy and an electoral college because the founding fathers were worried about people like Trump and Cruz and their ability to manipulate the public with promises that can't possibly be kept.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-27070538013001192302016-04-12T08:40:40.103-05:002016-04-12T08:40:40.103-05:00American politics often resembles professional wre...American politics often resembles professional wrestling.
