Imagine if every representative, senator, president, and bureaucrat took the Preamble of our Constitution to heart, and selflessly dedicated themselves to secure the Blessings of Liberty to themselves and their posterity.

They could if they weren't filtered through factions, collectives, parties...if they were real men, women, reps...(thus the appeal of Donald J. Trump)

Useless unipartarians BEWARE! RESIGN now.

2018 and 2020 are just ahead.

There is nothing “ideal” about the absence of parties and factious. They are nothing less, and important as, the joining of like-minded forces, whether in general or on a single issue, whether as a long term union or temporary. They are an important result of free speech AND FREE ASSOCIATION.

Look at California. It turned primaries into “non-partisan” events and its pretty much a Democrat uni-party state.

When someone says “ideal”, run from it.

Its only utopians that talk that way.
