Carl,
Yes, I agree about the intransigence of the system. However, Donald Trump has
the ability to stir up the worst in people. It's a talent. That's why the
Republicans didn't dump him. They knew he is crazy and difficult to handle, but
they also knew that he'd get them votes. People like Romney and Pence do not
rouse the masses in the way that Trump does. And although their policies in
terms of domestic and foreign policy might be similar to his, they would not be
motivating domestic terrorists the way he does. Look at it this way. The only
reason this country had a black man as President, is that he appealed to so
many people and the elites knew that they could use him to accomplish their
goals. But he's a different kind of person and the dynamics of his presidency
were different. So although he deported more people than Trump and he went
after whistle blowers and he assassinated huge numbers of people with drones,
including American citizens, he did not motivate the population to kill each
other and he chose to make his money before and after leaving office. However
corrupt the system is, the manner in which people treat each other is
influenced by the tone set by the President.

Well, if Americans had been involved in our government and its election
process, we would have refused to endorse the 2018 election.
Everything from Gerrymandering to purging voter registrations to out and out
lies.
But as long as money votes, and First Class big money out votes human Citizens,
it won't matter if we dump trump or not. His Trumpsters have already run
wholesale through our Federal Departments, and he is stacking the courts with
judges who will ensure that the average American has no ability to have his/her
day in court.
Remember the song, "Bye, Bye Miss American Pie"? I think he was singing
farewell to our American way of life. And by the way, that American way of
life was not within the reach of a majority of Americans.

I'm having real difficulty understanding why it's so hard for congress
to impeach Trump. Isn't he guilty of inciting the shootings of people
in two synagogues, as well as the illegal imprisonment of immigrants,
the murder of numerous people of color by racists, the mass shooting
at the mosque in New Zealand, and the endangerment of people in
numerous countries by his provocations? Why the debate over whether
or not he attempted to impede Mueller's investigation when he's been
breaking the law by making deals to profit financially from his
presidency while in office? Is everyone in politics and the mainstream
media so corrupt and self interested that they can't just do what has
to be done to stop this mad rush to hell?
