Hitlery Rotten Clinton’s corruption and lies didn’t phase him either. It was the collusion against Bernie Sanders that peeved him. Bet he still trusts CNN though.

The only way it happens is when the ENTIRE populance has enough of things “the way they are,” the truly Godly people take charge and put things back the way they are supposed to be.

Hate to break the news to the author of this piece but we already ditched the two parties, we now have Trump as our President.

Exactly so. Trump is neither a Republican or a Democrat (although he nominally goes by one). It's all Kabuki Theater.

FYI, Soros is dumping mad money into the DA race in Philadelphia. Now why would that be?

And Republicans, how happy are you that your leaders won’t call out the impeachment-obsessed Trump haters, or even defend the president?”

In truth this failure goes back to the 70s. Democrats began calling us NAZI and bigot and rascist etc back then and we never stopped the show and,pointed out the pure ludicrousness of this language and demand it stop. They took over language and debate then as we watched.l and did nothing.

Yep, a good read. Ann Coulter recently mentioned how the GOP has the President, the Congress, the Senate and it hardly matters. You'd think with an opportunity like this the GOP would be ready to rock and roll straight out of the gate.

The GOP congress looks like a sorry football team with a one point lead trying to run out the clock before the next election. They are deathly afraid of taking a stand or lead on any issue, desperately waiting the summer recess. Gee, I wish a couple of street thugs would play the knockout game with Paul Ryan. That punk really needs his comeupance.

Absolutely agree. Both parties are beyond change and redemption.

Yes we have Trump and he is now trapped. He can’t get his agenda passed because we still have two corrupt parties opposed to him.

Republicans are fighting Trump on the illegal alien front just as much as Democrats.
Both parties have been supporting a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders for 30 years.
Until Trump wrested the nomination from the GOP against their will, they have always nominated amnesty candidates, effectively blocking the citizens from stopping the illegal alien inundation.
Neither party wants illegal aliens removed, nor the flow stopped.

The American system of government was designed by courageous and inspired geniuses, but is run by debased and evil scoundrels.

Political parties have practically destroyed this once great country, which is why the people chose a non politician as their current president.

Although I’m a registered Republican, I’m not a partisan at heart. I’m simply an American who believes in our country’s founding ideals and form of government.

The Framers’ blueprint for America provided our people with the framework to become the most prosperous, most successful, most powerful, and freest people in all of human history. That is worth preserving, and means more to me than any political party.

I’m sure I echo the feelings of tens of millions, when I say that I will give my life to prevent the actual destruction of all we hold dear, should it come to that.

The wisdom of George Washington is proven correct. He was against political parties. Let them all run as Independents and not beholden to towing the party line or arm twisting tactics.

I would support a constitutional amendment to ban political parties within our government.

Craft the amendment to read that all those seeking public office, and every person appointed or hired by the federal government, must renounce their allegiance to all political parties.

Make it unlawful for any office holder or federal public servant to have any contact with partisan political groups of any kind. Make harsh and ironclad penalties for violation of these rules, and enforce them ruthlessly.

Maybe then our republic will have a hope of survival.

If it is true that Trump has decreased illegal immigration by 75% without even building a wall, then that is a tremendous accomplishment.

If is the operative word there.

If the invasion has indeed been slowed by three quarters of its former volume, I'm extremely pleased, but I don't actually know it to be a fact.

More than anything, I want to see the 40 million who are already here, return to their home countries. I don't want to rush the President, but only deporting the "bad hombres" isn't enough. Not nearly enough.

I think the two party system is working.

System? What system? There's not a single mention of political parties in the Constitution.

Because political parties weren't expressly forbidden by the Framers, they arose quickly, and soon captured all control of a government that was created to be "of, by, and for The People."

The 'two party system' isn't working at all. Political parties have practically destroyed this once great nation, and ought to be outlawed.

Abolish political parties and restore the default settings of our federal government.

We can do it the easy way, or we can do it the hard way, but it’s got to be done, or this nation will not survive.

New parties will also grow corrupt in time. The fact that we are a free country and it costs $ to run these elections means we simple have to expect corruption.

This could be overcome with SOME way to give every American who votes, access to many voices of opinion. Among them may even be the truth. Freedom of the press means they are free to fool and shame the public.

How can we abolish the right of people to “freely assemble,” as the parties will consider themselves?

It isn’t the system that is good or bad, it’s the greed that powers corruption. Greed for control and money (and easy access to all kinds of sex).

What we need, those who seek constitutional freedom, is an end game around corruption. I do think the Internet has played a huge role, for me personally, in enabling me to seek out enough information to get pieces of truth and attempt to combine them into some form of synthesis. But it’s not working for every voter.

George Washington warned about political parties.
