It would be a whole lot funnier if the stakes weren’t so high. I think we’re on the precipice...or maybe we’ve over it and just don’t fully realize it yet.
I don’t think Obama should ever have been allowed near the WH - he had a Kenyan (communist) father. And look what that got us. I don’t mind calling him a traitor although he probably just thinks of himself as a Citizen of the World. The founders saw the future and we stupidly ignored them.
What fools we are.
I think a lot of people feel the way you do.....which is why passions are running so high this election. Have we fallen off yet? I don't think so, but I don't think we have a lot of time to fight, when the opposition party is running a "proclaimed" Socialist, and so many Americans think that is a "good" thing.

I don't think Obama's Kenyan Father had much to do with his Presidential actions towards America beyond his love of Islam. Obama got his Marxist/Socialist philosophy right here in the good ole USA from his mother and the circle of family/friends he was raised in. Hillary has no "foreign" birth ties....but she was immersed in the same culture...and feels the same way, as does non-foreigner, Bernie Sanders. Their followers? Good ole' Americans..

Yes, they did, but it wasn't foreigners they warned us about OVER and OVER. It was that they had given us a system of Government guaranteed to give us FREEDOM for as long as we FOUGHT TO KEEP that system of Government.
Unfortunately, we've had several generations of complacent, lazy Americans (myself included) that have been too busy with other stuff to even appreciate what they have or that those "protections" provided by the Constitution were being slowly stripped away. In our silence, mini Dictators on BOTH SIDES of the political spectrum have been degrading the Constitution, for personal profit and power, until our country doesn't even look like the same one our founders created.
So that, in a nutshell, is why I'm presently backing the Canadian Viper, who IS a NBC (per my research), and has "preached" FOR YEARS that we can survive bad leaders WITH the Constitution, but our nation won't survive good OR bad leaders WITHOUT getting BACK to the Constitution. Since my pre-Senate research showed he had fought for the Constitution since 2000 and before, I know it's not a "vote for me for President" sound bite....but a conviction he holds. That "conviction" takes power away from Washington...which is a big reason they all hate him....which I see as a badge of honor, not a negative.
Anyway, sorry for rambling, but thanks for the discussion. I don't know who is going to win the R nomination, but debating the nominees is a very good thing, in my opinion, as is the passion for what's going on in our country. The flip side to that passion is that we can get a little intense without realizing it....which is why we have to try to keep some humor going so we don't FRY each other. LOL
Signing off...and best wishes to you, Aria, from the "Canadian Viper Voter"
