You want to not have another Trump? Then you must actually deal with the people he’s representing. You must actually deal with xenophobia and mistrust of government, and lack of proper education. And if he loses, you won’t. Because this is hard stuff.

Completely agree we need to move beyond this two-party system and into one with more representatives.

Unfortunately Republicans have cobbled together the support of myriad groups including the xenophobic, religious fundamentalists and those distrustful of government. Even worse, the best way to get past those things is education... and since their base includes those groups they tend to work against good educational policies.

I'd like to see a fiscally conservative/socially liberal party come out who doesn't focus on welfare as the problem. That could get the fiscal conservatives out of the GOP, leaving them with the "deplorables" and not much overall power but maybe enough to get three parties working in the congress/senate.

(Libertarians don't count, they're the "distrust government" group.)
