Remember, outside of hacking critical points in the electronic election machines, the vote is carried by the masses that receive Government funding.

As usually happens, so it will probably happen again. Greedy politicians and bankers wreck the country. Then, when they can't figure out what to do about the deteriorating system, they allow or help a statesman get in. The statesman fixes the problems, but the people feel pain a somewhat. So the people blame the statesman, because they feel the pain when he is in office. That's where RP is headed if he becomes President.

They gave him 88 seconds too much heh heh.
