The bolded is part of the problem. There is no "great leader" who will rise up and fix everything and if someone claims to be that person, you should run far and fast in the other direction. Trump, who is probably a megalomaniac, tried to sell himself as that person. "I alone can fix it." He's not that person and no one else is, either.
The most you can hope for is to elect a smart, fair, educated person who will do their best to put the interests of the country first. They'll make mistakes and they'll never be able to please everyone, but that's all any human can do.
America is STILL a great country. Yes, a country with problems and weaknesses. But instead of hoping to find some perfect, amazing leader, trust that your fellow Americans, whether they're in politics or just your neighbors are almost always doing the best they can.
Maybe there is a great leader who can fix the system. Because the system itself is a failure. And the system isn't going to fix itself.
Don't underestimate the power of a great man --- Reagan comes to mind -- won the cold war without firing a shot. Does anyone think that Walter Mondale or Jimmy Carter or any Democrat back then would have gotten that item accomplished?
That being said....I was hoping Trump was that guy, but he's not. He's simply better than the alternative.
...and negotiating skills! He can't even get along with his own party and take advice from people who have been in politics their entire lives. How would he negotiate with leaders of other countries??
Wow, if Trump has been "shackled" all of this time, just imagine what an "unshackled" Trump is going to do! I just hope he gets the chance to tweet up a storm before one of his adult handlers manages to wrestle his phone away from him.
This is going to be fun.
Wonder if kellyann is going to quit? Geez, imagine the veritable bloodshed of trump being unshackled? Too bad the GOP already spent so much money trying to get him elected.

Trump unchained! The dog is off his leash! Bannon is running the show and he's as crazy as Trump.
"...Breitbart seems to have no such internal conflict. Which explains why people call it Trump Pravda....Breitbart News' tone (and its millions of devoted followers) have come to define the tone and discourse of the Trump campaign: nasty, truth-averse, and no-holds-barred. There's Bannon to thank for much of that..."
True..he should have dropped Trump over his POW comments.
Has anyone got any idea what that 'foul mouthed McCain' comment was about? I've never heard about McCain having a foul mouth.
