I'm pretty sure the matyrdom phonenemom was often discussed in the back rooms of the Democrat Party. It has always been a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. It's hard to say which is the better path--especially with Mr. Trump's age and health.

In 2009, I put together the pieces of an alternative democracy together. I spent a fair amount of money marketing it. USA could have had this democracy in place by now. So I put the blame on average Americans who were introduced to this idea.

In the meantime, either there will be a Republican oligarchy (with lots of civil unrest) or a continual bumbling of American democracy for another decade. THe future does not look good.

It's time for a new way.
