But, alas, it is, which gave use eight years of Obama because Obama was "cool".
Obama and Trump have made me increasingly sympathetic toward the modern argument for a British (or Dutch or Scandinavian) style constitutional monarchy: the populace can lodge their affections on the monarch as head of state and the royal family, freeing them to vote on the basis of party platforms (or manifestos as they call them over here -- I'm sojourning in the UK this spring), rather than the personality of the candidate for head of government. I'm not entirely sure I buy the argument, but, as I say, I've become increasingly sympathetic to it lately.
A Cruz supporter who wants to bring back the monarchy to the US? Why am I not surprised?!
