You are right. The dems are as determined as any dictatorship to hold on to power. Between massive voter fraud, massive collusion by the enemedia and last minute ambushes, it will be very difficult for any non-Dem to win the WH in 16.
And even if a conservative or a reformer actually wins, it will be very hard to make any progress. In addition to Congress and the Judiciary, every member of the Federal Civil Service will be opposing him.
