What if it was like this already? It is...so what do we do about it?
It IS like this already. Everything that he asked about has already happened.
IMHO, we grow up -- a big one. And we quit picking candidates for office like we pick our high school dates, "'cause we are in love (or in like)" or think that they'll give us a thrill. We pick them because they are faithful to what we need them to be faithful to -- in this case, our Constitution. We are entrusting them with our Liberty --our national treasure --and we should have one major question: "Are they worthy?" Are they worthy because they are smart enough, decent enough, faithful enough, have loyalty to us and to that Constitution? Not are they worthy of us, but are they worthy enough to be loyal to that tradition that has been bestowed on us to preserve and protect? Not do they make us "feel good" or "assume they are God given" because even hucksters sent by the devil can do that. But use your eyes, your ears, your heart and your mind, the same way you did (hopefully) on your wedding day. Because which ever one you pick is going to make as much if not more of a difference to your children that the mate you picked to father or mother them. Forget what everyone else says. What do you say? Pray on it, meditate on it and make your choice. Because IMHO, we've been picking candidates for office with our egos, not measuring them against the real ideals we expect them to be true to.
