Common ground? (or at least grind)
Can we not agree that the electioneering and party-selection methods we tacitly abide, year after year after.. have Zilch to do with the sane selection of "The Best" from a nation of 280M? Instead, these habits guarantee that only a dissembling mediocrity [but with Good Teeth] shall ascend - by virtue of possessing a mask which alters with the campaign audience du jour.. adequately seamlessly.
ie Only an aberration - a Huge Upset\ufffd in fact! might allow anyone of substance within miles of the White House and that comfy jet. S/He will never pass muster via the [1% of the 3%] who Select who passes (and last time: threw one of the candidates out of the aud. where the laughably unmoderated 'debates' were held!)
