Congress is broken. The vision of James Madison enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, the most important document in the world second only to the Bible, has been blurred, distorted, and almost forgotten.

This is all nonsense. Mr. Trump has the strongest record of anyone running for president in 2024, the best chance of any...
