Representative government is intended to provide the citizen with persons who represent their values and will. This was to be accomplished through the election process where voters could remove those who failed to represent them. Unfortunately, much of today's electorate are ignorant or stupid. Also, the corporate (democrat) press, corporations and globalists are a huge thumb on the scale; they serve to "sell" democrat and RINO politicians to an ignorant electorate. This skewing by news organizations and super concentrations of wealth was something the Founders could not have seen.
