Too much power? You've forced the guy to get 65% of the population's Senators to get anything passed. The advantages given your party with these cute rationalizations is obscene. That's what allows you to lie about what Americans want, or don't want. Just fess up to it (instead of misleading everyone into thinking it's a fair system.) He got elected with 53.4% of the voters ballots. He didn't get 65% of the populations support, but you're making him get 65% of the population's senators. Good trick. Can't do it. Must have failed ideas. Couldn't be your lil tricks n' advantages coming into play. That 41 Senators keeping filibusters going only represent 36% of our population. You should all remember that before you keep talking about how "the public" is for, or against him. This is mainly a parlor trick combining two bad parts of a fkd up design. You don't trick me one bit. The American People are with him, but the senate unfairly represents the American People. Then you go out n' act like the senate is the American people. It isn't. It's represents the views of a few elite Americans. Everyone admits it favors some Americans over others. So, don't act like all Americans decided to turn the guy down. Only 41% of a biased pool (hillbillies get preferential treatment) were required to be against him. Not "The American People." There's a 11.95% group of Americans getting only a 2% say in that senate. So, don't tell me it's a fair thing going on. It's not America. It's America's embarrassment. Amazing how you're against special preferences until it comes to something that favors you. Then it's all good.
