Well Said!
I agree that a republic was the objective of the Founders. Unfortunately, with the 17th Amendment, I think that got lost. However, I think that if we work at it, we can make it a decent democracy (which is not to be understood as mob rule or caudillo-ism, since mobs always want a leader, the Man on the White Horse).
To me this debate really looked as if the voters were getting a chance to view all the candidates with their weaknesses or strengths.
The GOP has between 10 and 15 possible candidates, most of them relatively young or at any rate way under retirement age. The Dems, on the other hand, have only 3 geriatric socialist candidates, with wacky Bernie leading simply because he’s so wacky. And he’s not even a Dem, he’s an Independent.
So if we can get a good candidate, we win. And it will be a process of elimination, hopefully, this time, not dominated by money (Romney had big bucks, including his own, and both Trump and Bush have big bucks) but by what candidate could win. I’m already donating to my favorite...

NO.. no you don’t.. you’re perfectly fine with a democracy..
Which is... what is the marker for a RINO.. which are democrats..
DEMOCRACY has been made a HOLY WORD in America... by fed. controlled schools..
” HOLY “... not a despised thing.. but a HOLY THING..
SOme/most speak the word and their EYEs ROLL BACK..
Mind control at it’s most virulent.. Pavlov’s RINOS..
