Let’s face it: The government of the United States is hopelessly broken. There maybe no recovering from the damage to its structure.

The impeachment hearings are a Democratic ruse to capture the House and Senate in the next election, along with the presidency. Don’t get me wrong: I wouldn’t vote for President Trump, didn’t vote for him before, but the Democrats are portraying themselves as complete idiots. Pick a strong candidate, back him, run a good campaign and vote Trump out. This whole campaign just shows the total fear the Democrats have of Trump.

What happened to politicians working together, Democrat or Republican, for the people, and for the country? That’s what all parties are supposed to be doing, but they’re not. How can this country run effectively when the parties disagree on all matters based on which party introduced the agenda?

The politicians seem to have forgotten their reason for being elected. The whole idea is to represent the people and country. I’m for voting them all out and starting over, electing politicians who remember what they’ve been elected to do. Unfortunately, I’m afraid we will never see that again in this country, and that’s the biggest travesty of all.

Vote them all out and start fresh; that might be the only fix. And even then there will never be a guarantee the parties will ever work together again, and that’s the real fear.
