“Do you really think this nation is so weak that any person as President for 4 years will doom her to her grave?”
YES. It’s going that way right now. Check this out:

“For most of the 20th century, the United States has been considered the world’s economic superpower. And up until four years ago, the World Economic Forum would agree. In 2008, it ranked the U.S. as the most globally competitive economy in the world. This year, when the group published its annual Global Competitiveness Report, the U.S. ranked seventh.”
OK, honest answer. So, how and when did we get to that weak point? Since January 2009? Of course not, is started a long time ago. Are the people going to change? Nope. Is the corrupt system going to change for the positive enough with ANY President? Unlikely, nearly impossible as no polidiot has the guts to gut welfare and other “entitlement” programs.
So, can there be any trend to the positive or are all trends to the negative? For me, I see all trends to the negative.
During the previous elections it was often said “Democrats take us to Hell, Republicans take us to Hell just a bit slower.” I don’t think that has changed.
Until the system no longer allows taxation without representation, the system will contiue to grow more corrupt every day, as it has. Until we the people start holding our elected officials accountable our government will continue to take our property, our lives, and our freedom.
