15. While generally I agree with this, there is another huge problem, which I would tweak the process for.

The average voter is *not* informed like we are. Literally does not understand how our government functions. Literally does not understand that the majority party in either house has immense control over what legislative actions are even brought to the table.

So when all the attention is given to Trump, the average voter considers the GOP candidate not part of the problem.

But the entire GOP party *is* the problem. They could have Trump out in 24 hours if they wanted to with the help of Dems, but the GOP will not do it.

The attacks need to focus primary responsibility of the decline of our country -- not on what Trump said or did, but the fact that the GOP party does nothing to stop it.
