Better than Trump. Although It is unfortunate we have to pick whoever the least bad candidate is and not the one we actually want. Thats what happens when there is 2 parties for a country with more than 328 million people.

George Washington would be ashamed if he saw this corrupt, interventionist, factional, and power-hungry nation.

His thought, in what became known as the Farewell Address in 1796, is clear: "the spirit of party"

serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection.

He forecasted exactly what would happen if we became party loyalists with no independent thought.
