I was just saying last night:
"You know, if John McCain had picked another running partner -- he would have stood a really, really good chance at being POTUS, and more might have been accomplished in the last 7 years."
At least McCain was fairly moderate for a conservative GOP Republican, he could work across isles to get things done. I think he was conservative where it mattered to a lot of people, and compromising where he needed to be.

Wouldn't that be wonderful to have a candidate for President with no previous political experience? The more a candidate is shunned by the establishment the more I think we might be moving in the right direction.

I wonder when they are going to start talking about actually fixing sh!t like job creation, foreign policies, domestic spending and upgrades to infrastructure and the other stuff that the 99% actually need addressing?

The problem the GOP has is that they haven't yet put their base on the reservation like the Democrats have, and the Democrats have the problem that their base is going off the rails now too. The Democrats are leading a fragile coalition of special interest groups that don't remotely resemble the rich, white elites who purport to lead them. Black Lives Matter at least has caught on to this and it's only a matter of time before the other groups get it also.
And with the GOP ... well, the voters are tired of electing candidates we are told are the most electable and having them go to Washington and do jack. The GOP created their bed and they'll lay in it, and quite possibly so will we, but what other method to send a clear message is there?

I get that neither Trump nor Carson seem to be realistic candidates as compared to Hillary
