1. It would be a very difficult choice.

I guess this year it would HAVE to be Trump, but there is no shortage of contenders.

[Warpy]

3. Oh, I think McConnell would win, hands down

for his continuous and outrageous obstruction of even routine business, like confirming or rejecting a USSC nominee.

[Nitram]

2. Great. The tyranny of the majority throws out the socialist or the whistle blower.

[Cirque du So-What]

4. Were there lobbyists in ancient Greece?

Halfway serious question, as I imagine their presence would be anathema to the democratic model. I've fantasized that, if I were in power, I would raze K Street and put an elaborate public square in its place.

[Nitram]

7. Cirque, I'm sure there were lobbyists. it's human nature.

5. They voted to execute some of their best.

Mob rule, not all it's cracked up to be.

[Nitram]

8. Exactly. Witness Socrates.

[WestCoastLib]

6. Voting to punish politicians is an awful idea

In fact, that's pretty much how the Teaparty turned the Republican party into what it is today.

Trump is the result of this type of mob mentality, not the likely target of it's ire.

[Nitram]

9. Exactly. Trump would love this idea.

10. The ancient Greeks were way ahead of us...

WAY ahead...
