Basically with our governmental structure interesting change will only come either from the bottom up (the masses in outright revolution) or the top down (a radical chief executive). Certainly not the absolute quagmire clusterfuck shithole middle of the houses.
And as it currently looks the only interesting game in town is Donald "Grab 'em by the pussy" Trump. As depressing as that is.

It would be interesting to see how a Trump presidency would affect the next midterm election. Typically the party that controls the White House tends to lose some seats. I wonder if there would be any larger changes downstream from him. Sadly, if he were to win, he would be surrounded by career politicians so I wonder how much change might actually happen.
Personally, the only way I see real change happening is if someone ran for President and created their own party to do so. Like Perot did when he ran. The Reform Party actually got some people elected at the state and local levels, but sadly it collapsed into chaos and became controlled by crazy people. It would be cool to see someone do that and have the party remain viable.
