I have always felt that American yearned for some political integrity after the nasty Nixon episode.
They got it in Jimmy Carter. I believe that America has thousands of men and women who are just as smart and capable as Carter and Sanders. But, our electoral system is so flawed, we aren't able to
find many good candidates. Take a look at those Republican clowns. Average people recruited off the streets of any town in America would likely yield better politicians than those guys. What about
George Bush?

It wouldn't hurt if they would stop rigging the voting process. Carter said that the American elections
are not audit-able.
