The entire system is broken and people voted against it... that is the one and only issue people should be concerned with fixing right now. Whining about Trumps latest tweet when you know he's a pompous asshole, just as he was last year, the year before, 5 years ago, 15 years ago etc is pretty pointless. Everyone knew he was an asshole... but he won the presidential election.. .that should be what people are looking at as being the problem. In my view, this is what Democrats don't seem to get. Everyone knows he's a dick and he says obnoxious shit... that isn't going to change.

How about we all focus on what matters such as examining how these two thoroughly unfit people rose to the top to begin with???
The US political process is bought and paid for by people who can outspend the voters.

The Skyrocketing Costs of Running for Mayor of a Major U.S. City Until a cap is put on the costs the likelihood of a third party rising and representing the people is remote. In 2016 it's easy to connect with people, no need for the huge campaign, TV adverts, and stadium shows. The plus side for politicians is it stops them getting onto Social Media and mapping out and explaining their policies.
