[Rhodes22-list] Politics

[Hank]

Rummy,

As far as getting any decent options for president, I think the
political system we have created precludes any one sane or intelligent
from running.  What rational person would subject themselves to this
maddening process for a totally thankless job.  There is such
animosity between the parties now that regardless what a president
does, the opposite side will denounce and denigrate him.  I say, fire
'em all and start over.
