I am coming to the view that the electoral process has degenerated into a stacked deck. I see nothing to convince me that 2016 will be any different from 2012, 2008, 2004....Conservatives divide, waste resources and we exhaust ourselves, devouring each other.

The hope I see is the Convention of States for the purpose of proposing amendments. The Courts must be legally restrained and it’s too late to hope that elections will ever accomplish that.

Conservatives divide, waste resources and we exhaust ourselves, devouring each other.

Substitue "Republicans" for the above "Conservatives", and I whole-heartedly agree.

On FR for instance, conservatives take flak as causing devision but generally are behind the most prominent truly conservative candidate or two, as best as we can figure.

Most of the devouring you see going on here is really Divide and Conquer prose from (paid?) party activists.
