I think that the fact that the very best people that either the DNC or the GOP could get to run were both such despicable people is proof that it's too late for a political solution. There is no fixing this by political means. What needs to be fixed is the culture... and a return to values that are consistent with freedom and liberty. I'd say a need for compassion is also in the mix... but at a certain point, as things continue to careen into chaos - compassion is a virtue that very few people will be able to afford.
