Trump should go after term limits next and drain the swamp. He could easily set it at age right ?...so he could stack the Supreme Court with a bunch of different people that are strict constitutionalist's and level the playing field with politics. A bunch of young idealistic Supreme Court nominees sounds like a great thing for the republic really...
I see him going long on this angle.
1. You're messing with bringing out an amendment to article 3 at that point. They are for life barring impeachment.
2. You're anti-government libertarian, correct? You do realize the right to privacy is a judicially interpretive right that doesn't exist in the Constitution?
3. He's doing anything BUT draining the swamp. It's billionaires, Goldman Sachs, and CEO's in his cabinet. If you thought corruption was a problem in the past, well have fun.

Can you explain what the "swamp" is to you?
2) I would argue: I'm sliding into liberalism <or approaching it>. I believe in a middle of line federal government, that remembers the Constitution is it's bible. I believe in government these day's, with state-hoods having more and the federal having less. I think that was the intent that states could check the federal in line, but that's a old old argument. I believe in the federal government keeping out of business, except to punish. Of course if we really wanted to describe this as a X/Y graph in terms of politics...in reality there is a Z tangent too. Socially they should stick out of our lives as religion again is a person choice.... (I think it's really quite frankly personal insecurity if I force my beliefs on others). On the flip-side, government education should produce a strong worker and critical thinking American. Not one that seemingly lives off it's system, seemingly empowering it, which is a such path of misery. We should definitely smash the rackets of government and capitalistic institutions. Liberalism was supposed to be about making sure to go after active ongoing change, seeing what occurred and finding the better and more efficient systems right?? It's We The People! It should be about us versus them, not the federal government as central, the corporations the powerful and us fighting over the scraps. Also we really got to hold people accountable, powerful people, the seemingly untouchable. The interest has been one of the greatest things for civilization, it allows us to share, collude and exchange a great vast amount of information and perception. At our own peril, we should be careful not to become some sort of hive-mind and let mere politic's divide us. Ultimately, reality is a lot more complicated them some tag-line and each person should know where they stand on the issues then merely agreeing with Team A, or Team B.
The Swamp: The global cabal (current globalists/the corruption/whatever you call it). ..Maybe my idealism/utopian-ism, but I am really jaded today. I'm not so much Anti-government these days, but anti-leader...like why do we have to empower these element's. Ever just think back and sit there and realize probably a total of thirty people could just melt the world if they wanted too. I want all the powerful leaders always squabbling for power based off we the people perception and we the people being given the best chance to succeed by the corporations. Whatever enables that..let's aim for that.
I can't be the only one that thinks Trump could be a prime spot. Like really through business interest's <capitalism> we could link up with Russia so easily. Through business he could usher in a profit sharing plan that most politicians might not be able to do for fear of the party politics this could initiate. It would dispel decades of policy and a step closer to peace <from the main holders of nukes>. Equally, more important in dealing business in cold hard money they could go into the middle east and rebuild...The swamp are those that let keeping power to themselve stand in the way of progress. I imagine it's way more complicated that I can picture and navigating this would be a huge undertaking.
Why is connecting to an autocratic, demonstrably undemocratic, anti-American country a good idea? Seriously, how deep is your head buried in the sand to think this is a good idea?
