JESUS. A SOCIALIST, THREW MONEY CHANGERS FROM TEMPLE-TIME FOR AMERICA TO DO SAME WITH PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS

Jesus, the great peacemaker, believed in justice, equality and human rights for everyone. Making an election issue short, here are suggestions in a nutshell about voting rules changed 8 months ago:

Don't sell American voters short, we're smarter than what campaign managers think.
Prohibit corrupt politicians from buying elections, a game of convoluted money.
Let the popular vote win without all the infiltration of delegates wagging the dog.
No more black, secretive fund raisers which will also eliminate foreign political influence.
Stop funds from campaigns entirely, they end up as phony money, a game of monopoly.
The media already does an admirable job in producing debates, so increase their funds.
Have state representatives, who are already paid, present each candidates' attributions.
Broadcast their platforms and let the voters decide which way to vote through debates.
Make voters think they count in instead of present way with super delegates more important.
Give candidates a break! a rest instead of constant flying around the nation, what exhausts them.
Constant travel wastes energy and wears out candidates with their voices hoarse, a toll on health.
2016 campaign has turned Republican candidates to gang up on their own members like bullies.
Right now as I write candidates and delegates are scrambling as they fixate on stealing votes from one another. Shorten the campaign time so vital news gets more attention.
The idea of having families be interviewed with the candidates gives vision and insight into the real lives of those running for presidency.
Stop gerrymandering of districts disfranchising certain voters, as Jeb did in Florida stopping certain districts of Amerkcan Africans from voting to get his brother, G.W. Bush, elected.
 
America's founding fathers invented the addition of delegates out of fear that a fascist would win an election. But communication today erases that fear making it a moot, obsolete point since we have ways of knowing the history of each candidate and their biographies broadcast through the air and cyber space. Change voter rules. It's not fair to any sincere candidate who believes in reform and the need to start a revolution among people who really want to make a change in the retarded political sway of manipulated, twisted elections.

I voted for Bernie Sanders because governmental reform has been his dedicated career for decades, as I followed him for years when he was a frequent guest on the Thom Hartmann and Amy Goodman Shows, the latter, Democracy Now! But Donald Trump has made Americans think, too.  The present way we the people vote is "corrupt, rigged and undemocratic." Our votes are overpowered by super candidates and influenced by rich super packs. Donald as an excellent business man has showed us money needs to be taken out of the voting equation, as Bernie has done likewise.  We all are frustrated and dismayed by present deceptive voting rules at the polls and in our homes as we listen to the screwed up politics. Mr. Trump also believes that anything that is illegal must have enforcement, and even reform, to make law and order work. Illegal means there is law breaking. There must be enforcement that requires a victim and a villain. Donald Trump believes in women's rights to their own bodies. He is a thinking person and serious decisions are quite complex. They need to be dealt with in fairness to everyone involved. It's not a yes and no answer.

Both candidates have opened America's eyes to the stress and insidious chicanery of corrupt politics.  Every good business man knows that telling a lie even in "sand baggers" cheating in golf, will make any untruthful deal fail because in business there's no room for political bureaucratic lies.

Sadly, Bernie and Donald can't run together. In 1801 as voter laws were handled during the time of America's founding fathers, the president and the vice-president ran on the same ticket, with the vice-president having the lesser vote.  But when Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were in the race for the presidency there was a tie and the House had to vote to break the tie. It took the 12th Constitutional Amendment to change voting ruling. So none of us have to suffer voter stress, the democratic policy of America is to be willing to change for the sanity of everyone.
