AP writes that one of those interviewed sees a need to, "toddler-proof" the presidency. Underlying this hit piece is AP's agitation for complete change of how our government works (starting with TRUMP). I guess we could say that AP has announced it's campaign to run in 2020.

“. . . said Petrusky, a 46-year-old elementary school teacher in a Seattle suburb.”

I stopped reading right there.

“Right now we’re being shown all of the loopholes, the president being able to do all the things that no president should ...",

WTF??!! Where the hell have these people been when Obama routinely overstepped his authority as POTUS to set laws that were illegal? Sadly, some of these are still in place.

Be careful what you wish for.

“Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…” - Winston Churchill

Petrusky, who’s trained as an environmental scientist

Considering the HellHole Seattle is turning in to, she should spend her time cleaning the Crap off the streets in her own town.

Not a peep of complaint out of them when Obama’s campaign staff bragged that he was, “Ready to rule!” Ignoring the constitution to force people to buy health insurance, “ruling” via Executive Order, his nose in the air amid the Greek columns he kept fresh in his imagination whenever in the spotlight - all this from Obama was FINE with these people.

While 61% of Democrats like Petrusky want big changes, 52% of Republicans do as well. About 1 in 10 Democrats and Republicans say they want the system completely replaced, while that view is about twice as common among independents.

Be careful of what you wish for!!!!!!

Repeal the 17th amendment and revert to state legislatures electing Senators, then we can START the conversation.

“...Don Conford likes what Trump is doing, but he, too, thinks there needs to be big changes in the way the government works, like term limits for members of Congress. The 54-year-old runs his own small construction business from a Los Angeles suburb and thinks government is corrupt.

“These politicians get into office, and they just sit there and sit there and sit there,” said Conford, who goes without health insurance because he can’t afford it. “It’s immigrants’ rights and criminals’ rights up and down the board, and us hardworking citizens have to pay for it.”...

My guess would be most of the people want the type changes this guy wants....

They are not willing or able to look at anything objectively. They have it ‘all figured out’, and generally think that they are much more informed and evolved than the rest of society - particularly those who don't agree with them. It is an incredibly narcissistic world view, but they are actually too narcissistic to understand that. Throughout history it has always been ego, more than power and treasure, that has motivated people the most - and narcissism/ego has led to the most destructive ends.

Most people know what they don’t like in government but don’t really know what would be a better solution to what they don’t like.

Most people are complainers but couldn’t begin to fix what they complain about.

Her news choices never told her about it. And she was busy teaching “her kids” the Mmm Mmm Obama song.

She’s a poster fem for all that’s wrong in our pubic ed schools.

“”the president being able to do all the things that no president should””

AGAIN - no specifics...Just moaning and complaining. Could she not have listed some of those “all the things”?

“You do things that annoy me.” “What?” “Things.” “I wish you’d stop doing that.” “What?” “That.”

And she’s a school teacher??? Good luck with her kids understanding anything she teaches.
