Leonid Bershidsky — The U.S. System Is Designed to Beat Trump

This is really funny. The author is constantly bashing Russia for "fixed" elections, and now he is proposing a fixed election policy for the US to avoid "the excess of democracy" as mob rule. He even cites the Founding Fathers. So much for US "democracy."

The elite is all for "democracy" when it suits them. When it does not, it is "mob rule" that needs to be overridden procedurally.
