"The fault dear Brutus lies not in our stars; It lies in our selves....

We have created a political process that attracts narcissists, sociopaths and codependents both literally and figuratively.  We are to blame for it.  Both left and right, rich and poor and all races and ethnicities.  Until we create a Prime Minister / Constitutional Government ~ politicians will be beholden strictly to money instead of the people.  The First step is for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn The Citizen's United Case  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

"And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable preeminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your government, and be your rulers.”

- Benjamin Franklin at the U.S. Constitutional Convention
