Hello Ward,

 at>> I think I understand what you mean. We can't just get the president we
 at>> want
 at>> and expect them to fix everything without Congress & US Senate. The lack
 at>> of
 at>> interest in Congress & Senate could be why we have such ridiculous people
 at>> getting elected.

 WD> Exactly. It has become a pissing contest.

Dems on the left.  Pubs on the right.  Nobody in the middle.
That is how Trump managed to win.  He was the "something different".
The voting public did not anybody on the left, or on the right.
So they chose "something different" - which happened to be the last
man standing.

What do voters care for the most?  Somebody who entertains them,
such as Trump?  Or somebody who actually gives them what they want?

Trump promised everything to his supporters - the moon, the sun,
the stars.  Does that mean all he has to do is keep making promises?
Even if all his promises are empty?

 WD> All power should lie in a multi-party Congress where there are no absolute
 WD> majorities and they have to reach compromise. The President then should be
 WD> elected by that Congress, should have no outspoken powers, very ceremonial
 WD> being the face of that country and representing it in a ceremonial way as
 WD> our monarchs have been doing lately and be of high moral standing like
 WD> Eisenhower was. Schwarwkopf also would have been a good President.

 WD> Just think about why military leaders make good Presidents...

 WD> Also, the president should be denied a cellphone and a Twitter account.

Obama had his blackberry.
Trump has his twitter.
What will the next president have?
I shudder to even think about it.
