Are We Forever Trapped in Political Gridlock?

I am an American history buff and it seems to me that the Founding Fathers advocated compromise. They were very aware that federalists and anti federalists both needed a voice for a fair and representative government. Liberals and conservatives have forgotten that this country is not supposed to represent only their point of view. Clinton governed from the middle and congress worked with him. We like to site the whole Monica thing but we forget about welfare reform and balanced budgets. This was the best of compromise. Hilary is a different animal than her husband and I think she has fallen into severe corruption issues. I listen to news entertainment channels{ CNN.FOX, CBS, ABC, etc…} make excuses for terrible behavior on her part and wonder how we improve our leaders actions while her bad behavior is justified. Trump’s words are excused regularly by certain people and he is excoriated by others. My reason for voting for Trump is the push by the media not to. We have no idea what type of leader he will be but we know that Hilary will lie every chance she gets because she’s doing it now. Maybe I’m wrong but I have a right to my opinion like every other citizen. I don’t appreciate the trolls and hate mongers who think if they insult and vilify it will change votes. I can assure you it will not. Try listening to other opinions and form complex arguments and you might teach something and also learn something from others. Just some thoughts from the middle.
