Do you agree that Trump is proof of democracy being at fault?

No, I think people did not get out and vote in the primaries so we were stuck with the two candidates we were. The other problem is they vilified him so much that the other side said Screw that, we are voting for him no matter what you people say.
Rhetoric, such as Mr.Trumps, can be powerful and people underestimated that.
I cannot stand him, to be honest, but I did not like Hilary, either. I did vote, though.

@Dreammmer: I think the other party candidates should be more visible and to be honest to an extent they were more than in previous years, the two party system is becoming increasingly a biased system based on rhetoric alone. It is never good when things break down to an us against them mentality which seems, in my humble opinion, to plague many Trump supporters.
We are all Americans, I think most of us want what we believe is best for our country. I don't like the fact that it was fear that seemed to divided the country. Fear of who would be the worse of the two.

@Dreammmer: I do not think so, people won't trouble themselves to vote and I actually heard people say the primaries don't matter, well then how do you think we got stuck with the two Candidates we did?

@justmerae: That is what I suspect from the beginning and what is always the problem in whatever system you live, the people, or some people.
@justmerae: Trump is like Cod liver oil. Not pleasant but beneficial. This country desperately needs Trump right now. That's why I get so crazy over what the leftist are doing. We could start living the dream again, and be that shining city on the hill, but the leftists are so dead set on getting revenge for losing the election, they are destroying our dream and will make this country as vulnerable as a slug in a salt mine. I don't like becoming a raging monster like I do sometimes, but I've always been a genuine nephew of my Uncle Sam, and the left attacking this country affects me like they are attacking my own family.

@puck61: The dream you expect has already become a nightmare. And your reasoning shows clearly that you are not able to think beyond white and black. You can only lose if you see your fellow citizens as your enemy.
@Dreammmer: that's your perspective and what makes it through the filters of your perception. I think Trump is doing a fantastic job in spite of intense opposition from a culture in which error and folly are the default setting.
