8. No, the constitution is in need of some major repairs

It is made with the ability to be amended, but the process to do so is seemingly impossible with the country deeply divided. The constitution is not some divine document that the people "have failed." It is an imperfect charter that has been exposed as deeply flawed by the actions of a rogue president and rogue political party. The republicans will not change. The constitution, if it survives, must be improved.

- The electoral college needs to be trashed.
- Two senators for areas of real estate needs to be trashed.
- The federal system needs a hard looking at.

These are dreams at this point. I hope a Democratic administration / congress can pass some statutes to strengthen checks and balances, especially on the president, but we will have a corrupt republican supreme court to invalidate those statutes. I agree the constitution has failed.
