A long time ago, in a constitutional republic far, far away.... federal congressmen and senators recieved their paychecks from the states they were from and each state had a stake in what was being done and the people could actually have control over who they elected locally and how they would be represented on the national level.
Now the USA is in the age of democracy: mob rule, popular opinion where there is no room for any fairness or equality, as the minority have to go along with everyone else. There is no rule of law, set standards that will not change, a consistent norm.
Whatever is popular or trendy becomes law and there is a constant uncertainty due to constant gutting and ammending the foundation that was a constitutional republic. The supreme court no longer functions as intended due to being appointed by the most popular president towing the party line deciding what is or isn't constitutional.
50.1% tells the other 49.9% how to live, in general our lives are being decided by a process similar to how Lindsay Lohan became popular. When the US backed by UN goes out to place like Iraq, encouraging 'democratic' elections which if at least 50% of the country votes we call it a valid election, less in invalid according to international law. Half of the American public has not voted in more than 50 years.
People have become so disenfranchised or apathetic to the voting process, they couldn't care less. Some say it's their fault the way the country goes because of not voting, in certain situations yes but the foundation of the US as a consitutional republic covered the inherent laziness and actual inability for people to keep track and hold accountable a national government, let alone a state government. It goes back to how state legislators would take applications for who to send to represent them in the national government, they would be working for the state and chosen by legislators the people were actually able to somewhat control because a person would typically live within 20 minutes of the legislator for their district and could be there to have their voice heard on the national level. The state could then recall their national representatives.
Another safeguard against the government off the tracks was the jury system where people now just rubber stamp prosecutions for victimless crimes or unconstitutional laws letting the government of people elected by a popularity contest get to do whatever they want disenfranchising mass amounts of the voting population who give up and don't take part anymore.
We are dealing with opportunistic charlatans who will say anything and when they get elected you can't control them, this is not just America either, it's pretty much everywhere except the third world. A national government functioning properly in a constitutional republic as intended, would be functioning as not to exist. Nope, instead the State department loses $6 billion, Pentagon $6.5 trillion, banker bailouts and stimulus packages, bailout the insurance companies under the guise of reformed healthcare, $9 trillion missing from Federal Reserve, $2.3 trillion goes missing before 9/11, IRS pleads the 5th, fake wars, all the scandals tolerated, it's insane.
It's literally insane, doing the same thing over again expecting different results, there's a global parasitic class feeding off the people who are working, making victims of people who want to work, getting them to fight each other and continue to prop up their supposed saviors in the popularity contest who are bought and paid for since the beginning. I think Trump is just peddling what the country wants and actually needs to hear in order to preserve the country as a whole and it shows how ridiculously far we've fallen. Those third party candidates are bought and paid for too, Mr. Johnson is a shill.

Which if it's a legit rule, that's stupid, IMO.
