It's the slicksters, and the phonies that garner the votes. America's system of electing leaders is ludicrous. The media chooses the candidates and pushes them on the public, we ALL saw that.

Dual citizenship, here I come. Germany is so much more civilized in their political process. People don't spend gazillions of dollars on advertising, they all get equal and FREE time on TV and radio no more than a couple months before the election. And then there is this thing called representational democracy, if a party cracks 5% they get at least one seat in the Bundestag. So, in a way everyone is represented, and then the parties broker deals with one another to form coalitions.
