  1. America’s dysfunctional two party system has trapped the GOP. The Republicans know that they do not have the numbers to beat the Democrats without Trump’s mob or moving towards the centre. Anyone that even has a veneer of centricism about them is snuffed out by internal lynch mobs. So they’ve signed up to the political equivalent of a death pact.

    The only glimmer of hope I have is that corporate America will say enough is enough and strangulate them financially but I think there will still be enough rich crazies out there to throw them a lifeline.

    Personally I think the Democrats need to put them out of their misery, go for the jugular and rip the GOP’s heart out. This would involve electoral law reform to prevent disenfranchising the poor, creating two new Demofrat states in DC and Puerto Rico to rebalance the Senate.

    Lock them out of power for a generation and force them to change. Ultimately America needs a new party of the centre right but unlike NZ with MMP, it is very difficult to see how this could emerge out of their very broken and undemocratic political system. Who knows where this is going to end – all options seem unlikely and untenable but the status quo doesn’t seem viable either.

    Buckle down the hatches Aoteroa the world could get alot more bumpier yet…
