Trump could be just another bit of kabuki theater, to make people think he's against the status quo or w/e. But the only other choice that is going to be offered up that may not be a part of the machine is Sanders, and I've got a feeling that President-Sanders there might feel the same way.

The best part of politics in the modern era is that everyone has the Douche and the Turd Sandwich attitude about it all. "I'm only voting for X because he's less of a douche than Y." In the end it's just biting us in the ass year after year.

"If" it was just one system that put up multiple candidates in different "parties", then it makes perfect sense, all you have to do is put someone that people can't fucking stand against your choice, and they'll vote anyone in. Which is really the far simpler explanation than what people claim to be the truth. (edit: seriously.. no other explanation for Palin in 08)
