... maybe, its the DELEGATES, (stupid)!!
Wonder why our Presidents have been so much "less" than we have expected; (from the time of the Assassinations of the 1960s, until the election of Obama in 2008)?? People have been right to point to the decline of Political Parties; after Television brought us those first televised Debates, between Kennedy and Nixon. However, the "revolution" that took place at the Democrat Convention, in Chicago, in 1968, might be where we ought'ta look?? Maybe that "revolution" is still going on??
We older ones might remember white kids gettin' their heads busted by Cracker Cops; a fore-runner for Rodney King, and Police Riots in Southern California, more than twenty years later. Four years after Chicago, Cracker Cops gunned down students on Campus in Ohio (an escalation?)!!
Let's go back and take a look at the DELEGATES at that Convention in 1968. Sure, the Political Party has never been the same since 1968; but the real story may be told by the transformation of the role of the DELEGATEs in both Political Parties.
Convinced that my fellow voters may have had enough of Reagan in 1984, I helped by teen-age daughter in her Private School class project to get out the vote for Mondale/Ferraro. I learned from a very rich Democrat on Palos Verdes Peninsula that there was a price tag, for just about every political office in the Country (above the level of Dog Catcher, that is). Nor all that MONEY that politicians beg for in elections goes to MEDIA. Much of it is used to BUY DELEGATES!! TRUMP is dis-robing the Parties and showing us their their ugly guts!!
Stay Vigilant! Both TRUMP and BERNIE are in the right Church! They're in the WRONG Pew!
The FOUNDERS worried about FACTIONS (what we know as Political Parties). Their Constitution did not prescribe these. The Delegate System and the buying of Political Office has grown, mysteriously, since the 1960s. WHO gets to be a Delegate? HOW?? Are they CONSTITUTIONAL?? WHOM do they Represent?? Should each STATE set the rules for DELEGATE Selection? These are the issues TRUMP and BERNIE should be campaigning on??
