stupid, and could not imagine the world of 2018, let’s just have the media select our leaders.

They have proven to be impartial, unbiased, and always looking out for the best interest of our country.

Think of the money and time it would save not having to go through all those annoying elections. We could have republicans like Joe Scarborough and democrats like Anderson Cooper Choose the House and the Senate. And while they’re at it, the courts as well.

What could be fairer than that; one Democrat for each Republican Making decisions that the idiot citizens haven’t gotten the right often enough.

For them.
