The Pitfalls of a Two-Party System - Todd Strandberg - http://raptureready.com/rap16.html
For over 160 years, the United States has had just two major political parties. Most democratic nations have a multi-party system; with it being rare for any one party to represent more than 25 percent of the population. The only way to reach a governing majority is for several parties to form a coalition.
All that horse trading often leads to turmoil when one group doesn't get what it wants.
If the split is large enough, the entire government may collapse. Nations with a high-level of political division, have leadership that is in constant rotation.
The pitfall of Two-Party System is that you only have two choices when it comes time to vote. If you don't support the Republican candidate, the Democratic candidate has a much greater chance of winning and taking us closer to losing our liberties even more.
We ran into this problem back in 2012 with Mitt Romney. There were a number of Christians who were saying we can't vote for a Mormon. We ended-up with four more years of a Muslim friendly president.
This simple truth of only having two choices on election day doesn't seem to be understood that well at the Republican party. Now that Donald Trump has achieved a huge lead over his remaining contenders, several party officials are stepping forward to express their opposition. Republican Sen. Ben Sasse said he won't vote for Donald Trump if the billionaire becomes his party's nominee. Sasse wrote on twitter "I'll look for some 3rd candidate-a conservative option, a Constitutionalist."
At this point, a new third party candidate would have to be a write-in. In most states, the ability to get a new name on the ballot has already expired. There was talk of former Mayor of New York, Michel Bloomberg jumping into the race, to run against Trump, but the support for that option quickly faded when it became clear that Bloomberg would steal more votes from Democrats than Republicans.
I think Hilary Clinton is one the worst candidates to ever run for president. When you see her at campaign rallies, a sense of awkwardness is evidenced in her persona. She is winning the race because the Democratic party has predetermined her victory. Bernie Sanders could get 60 percent in every state and still lose to Clinton because unelected superdelegates have been selected to side with her.
The odds do favor Clinton in a matchup with Trump. Because of mostly financial reasons, a large segment of the population will automatically vote for the Democratic party. With Trump having the highest negatives in the history of political polling, he needs to start uniting people if he is to have any chance of winning the big prize.
Something needs to be done about these news outlets that act as agents of the Democratic party. The New York Times is said to be sitting on a video clip of Trump saying something that will hurt his chances. The paper is obviously waiting for him to gain the nomination before dropping this so-called bombshell. This type of journalism is what you would expect from a one-party state like North Korea or People's Republic of China.
The presidential race may not be the only disaster on election night. The current U.S. Senate has 54 Republicans and 45 Democrats (including one independent). There are 34 seats up in 2016, of which 24 are held by Republicans. Democrats will only need to gain 4 or 5 seats to take control.
What I'm hoping will take place in these last few days is that Republican party insiders and big money donors will rush to Ted Cruz. In my opinion, he would be our best shot at defeating Clinton and reversing some of the damage inflicted by her former boss. After the Washington Establishment has spent all this time trying to smother Cruz's candidacy, it may be expecting too much for them to now see Cruz as their last hope.
On election day, Conservatives may have no choice but to vote for Trump. Our only option may be down to choosing the lesser of two evils. If that is the case, my hope is that God allows us to bypass such a dreadful decision.
"Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth" (Rev. 3:10).
