found an error in your article. Eliana Fernandez stated.. .
"This presidential election is not a reality show."
Who is he to make this declarative statement. If he knew how the deep state worked and how the elites are pulling the strings, manipulating the way folks think in the media, he'd know for damn sure that this is exactly what it is.
Does he have any evidence to the contrary?
Does he actually think his vote matters? No matter how many folks vote for Trump or Bernie, the party elites will choose who they want. It's all a big show.
What a rube.
1) Eliana is a woman's name.
2) Your Tin-foil hat needs adjusting.
3) Party Elections are not public elections. The Parties are private entities who set their own rules. The majority of Democrats have voted against Bernie. The majority of Republicans have voted against Trump.
1) My apologies
3) The parties ARE made up of people. If the party elites decide for the people, the nation is no longer a Republic, it is an oligarghy. Who is the party supposed to Represent.
2) Stop getting all your information from CFR controlled MSM. Be a bit inquisitive. If things don't change over a period of 70 or 80 years, maybe the paradigm they are feeding you, is, maybe, bull shit?

Essay: Anatomy of the Deep State
There is the visible government situated around the Mall in Washington, and then there is another, more shadowy, more indefinable government that is not explained in Civics 101 or observable to tourists at the White House or the Capitol. The former is traditional Washington partisan politics: the tip of the iceberg that a public watching C-SPAN sees daily and which is theoretically controllable via elections. The subsurface part of the iceberg I shall call the Deep State, which operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power. [1]
During the last five years, the news media has been flooded with pundits decrying the broken politics of Washington. The conventional wisdom has it that partisan gridlock and dysfunction have become the new normal. That is certainly the case, and I have been among the harshest critics of this development. But it is also imperative to acknowledge the limits of this critique as it applies to the American governmental system. On one level, the critique is self-evident: In the domain that the public can see, Congress is hopelessly deadlocked in the worst manner since the 1850s, the violently rancorous decade preceding the Civil War.

Given the ubiquity and continuity of the deep state, will it matter whether the Republican or the Democrat wins the presidential race later this year? Or will it be the same either way?
It matters to a certain extent. A competent rogue is probably preferable to an insane one. There are definable differences between Bush and Obama. However, the differences are so constrained. They’re not between the 40-yard lines; they are between the 48-yard lines.
