Hit the nail on the head

[Davidk]

These next elections are more important than ever. The liberals ALMOST ruined our Country & I'd hate to see them in control again. The founding fathers must have been directed by God 'cause only He could have foreseen our needs for a Republic. Our leaders need his help more than ever but I don't think they're listening.

While a republic, in combination with the Electoral College, is the best option, it does not protect against stupid voters, especially when they outnumber the makers. I fear that ship has sailed.
