Democratic Primary Push for White House

[Chico23231]

People keep talking about changing the country and how major functions within the economy, government, etc should be change.

I think how we elect the president should definitely be changed. I’m not talking about the electoral college either. This wasteful song and dance is tiring, insignificant too a point and extremely wasteful of money.it’s a clown show for the gop as well as the dems. No question

The reason why it becomes a clown show is the candidates are fighting to get votes from people that have next to no understanding of how the government works and simple economics. Both sides have people that aren't the brightest tools in the shed voting for them and those people are easily influenced.

I know a lot of things can be staged these days, but some of the street interviews about subjects related to politics can produce some pretty shocking results. One of my favorite were a handful of people waiting in line for housing vouchers who thought Obama was spending his own money on them. Another interesting one is the answer when asked how much the President of the USA makes, a lot of people think he makes what a CEO of a Fortune 500 company does.

I think there should be a basic test to qualify for the right to vote, then you won't have candidates promising boat loads of free crap without explaining a feasible way to pay for it, or making pie in the sky promises you know they can't keep.

A huge problem is the bureacracies of the government and two parties are so entrenched the needed reforms can't really happen

I agree . IMHO.............. when it comes to the Presidency there should be no party votes. I mean everyone should have a say in who the Candates are.just not Dems or Reb's. Open all primary;s to all voters and let the best person be elected .Not saying for all elections but just the Presidency.
