I feel your pain Yoo. Imagine what they would have thought of Bill Clinton, Barf Obama, and the possibility that Hillary might win. Yikes!

The Founders would also be aghast at what some of the American people have become.

Apparently, the voters do not think so. The founders wanted the people to decide. Not pundits, donors and political hacks.

John Yoo confounds the founders with the GOPe and DNC (no e necessary with DNC, it is implied).
John Yoo has a basic confusion that is Yoouge.

Think the founders worst nightmare would have been debt obligations of 19 Trillion. Of course they could not even fathom such a high number back then. It is time to retire the establishment. They have failed us miserably.

Totally divorced from any contact with historic fact.
The Founders worst fears was a Government of “Faction and Moneyed interests” like what currently dominates the DC Political/Media/Business class. The Founders would see in Trump and Carson the ideal of the citizen politician and utterly abhor the professional politicians like Clinton/Cruz/Sander/Rubio/Bush et al.

This article could be about Clinton or Obama or any democrat since FDR. The author is a little late.

Trump and Sanders: The Founder's Worst Nightmare The Founders' worst nightmare was a massive government that intruded into every aspect of society, with massive social-engineering power, fed by unbacked currency and massive debt. They KNEW that such a government would be corrupt, overtly political, and eventually would be used to oppress people.
With limited government, and clear, simple rules on roles for each part of government, they tried to ensure no tyrant could take over.

The founders built in remedies to keep the country on course or to get it back on course but here is no way they could anticipate how far we have drifted. The Constitution was written based upon honorable people doing honorable things but it is facing 47% populace that is willing to vote for anyone with a “D” behind their name and a complicit media that is a willing participant to that end.

That said, your comment is delusional.
