Here are some of the many highlights from the poll, which is attached below:

70% agree that the federal government today no longer has the consent of the people

79% want to recruit and support more candidates who are ordinary citizens rather than professional politicians and lawyer

A majority of voters would join a third party if it had a chance of success

77% prefer candidates who “take on the political elites and special interests” to those who conform to a set ideology

In brief, here are the points that strong majorities are said to agree upon:

America is in decline, and the next generation may be the first that is worse off than its parents were.

The system is rigged against ordinary people, as powerful interests – corporate and political – exploit the rules for their own benefit.

Both the Democrat and Republican parties are “essentially useless” in changing this situation, with both of them dominated by well-connected special interests, and too interested in accumulating power instead of fulfilling their essential duties to the American people.

The political class is too insular, and should be infused with fresh blood from “ordinary citizens,” rather than “professional politicians and lawyers.”

In other words, they want Trump, without dirtying of hands.

If Hillary is not indicted, I suspect there may be a political earthquake. Any decision not to prosecute Hillary will focus the spotlight on why people are so angry with the political elite.

Especially if the FBI begins the “selective leaking” they have threatened if Lynch and/or nobama shoots down an indictment.

BUMP!

The problem with the electorate is “History of the US” is no longer taught in our schools. We are running around like a bunch of sheep with a hireling Shepperd.that cares only of his own comfort.

We need to know our History. The period from 1773 to 1787 was a training/experiment that we need to know. If is why the US Constitution made this country so great.

The department of education is absolutely useless. A complete failure. It actually makes education in the US worse than if if didn't exist.
