That's the system we have now, a public adversarial one. The candidates present themselves (misrepresnt themselves), fill in the gaps about the alterntives (misrepresenting them as well), and the voters pick the candidate that they think will best feather the voter's nest.

The system works, there is a person in every office!

I always believe that it was my privilege and duty to vote.
I never thought that one day my eyes would see a system that allows a few select people chosen,have more say in an election than The People of this Country.

“That is no way to run a campaign, how can you run a country if you can’t run a campaign which is way more complicated...”

When running the country he would have the full might and authority of the U.S. behind him. As it stands he has the full might and authority of the RNC working to prevent him from ever winning the job!

Yeah—never mind that most of them are incompetent to do the job the Constitution requires of them, and very few of them are not lawyers. And never mind that politicians have been buying votes forever.

This system is corrupt beyond belief. To think, when I was a kid, I thought Americans were above corruption. Ah, the disillusionment of growing up.

People who are watching this play out need to realize how amending our electoral college to implement proportional representation in every state such as is done in Kansas and Maine will be the first SERIOUS step in saving the republic.

Congress members and political bag men have protected themselves by being able to control entire states with just a few mostly urban districts controlled by unions and community organizers. Their manipulation of our system has robbed most of the nation of their votes.

Inept.
Think again when your vote is not counted when it’s something you feel strongly for.
We vote locally and in our schools.
How would this work if a community you lived in and someone told you to sit down,we’ll take care of it.
You can sit this out.
Would you consider yourself inept?

Have you read the Constitution and the original process for electing a President?

-- Ah, the disillusionment of growing up. --

yeah - so make sure you let your kids have a real childhood! The system has always been a little bit rotten, that's human nature. The founders tried to limit the damage that could be done from afar, and that could be done by adopting a government of "popular will." But, the powerful folks figured out (it's pretty easy actually) how to get control, and here we are. A nation of mostly dummies, led by thieves and liars, and too fat and lazy to even risk civil disobedience to get some freedom back.

Exciting times to be alive, with information so easily accessible. Too bad most people are too lazy to take advantage of the resource, or even care. But for those who like to observe history as it unfolds, wow, what a rich environment, and what a dynamic and dangerous time to be alive!

Agree, however revoking the 17th is necessary with proportional representation.

The rules are being followed.

Yeah, well, we've reached the point where the rules say that voters are not required for elections.

And that means there are two types of people left - those who see nothing wrong, and those who do.

The guy you’re talking about was proven to be a liar....

Trump is deflecting. His organizational skills are inept at this level. To admit that is to admit he’s inept.

Whether or not Trump’s organization is inept, does not change the fact that the system is corrupt! Trump is exactly right about that.

I Stated I believe if you vote it should be recognized and counted. I do believe the under-handed tactics are getting worse every election process. Doesn't require a constitutional scholar to know people votes are not counted and or ignored by the back door double dealers.
I agree completely with my post as I originally stated.
