I used to be a Republican but, not anymore and never will never be one again. I am now a bonafided independent. Trump took care of that.I have to try to keep my promise on stopping my comment's on Trump but,here is one more.

You have hit the core of how I have felt for many years. If you have ever attended a local political party meeting you will have seen that those with the most extreme political views tend to dominate discussions and decisions. Those with more centrist views are cast aside as irrelevant. There’s no wonder that the major parties have alienated those of us in the middle. But in a closely divided congress, I do believe that enough well placed Independent victories could sway the balance of power and force more responsible legislation. As for the Presidency, you are correct and Constitutional changes would be needed.

Agree. I try not to wade too deep into the politics of politics (because so many others do) but I think you characterize this correctly. My gripe with Democrats isn't that they're corrupt as much as they're just effete.
