Constitutional Experimenter



Ben Carson Quits!
Ben Carson does not quit from the presidential race.
Ben Carson quits from GOP.
Ben Carson will continue as an independent candidate.


Before reading this article, you should watch the movie, Experimenter


source: Stanley Milgram

A substantial proportion of people do what they are told to do, irrespective of the content of the act and without limitations of conscience, so long as they perceive that the command comes from a legitimate authority.

Both Democratic party and Republican party are the legitimate authority to qualify candidates for the presidential election. They are like recruiting company.

Both FOX News & CNN are the legitimate authority to promote or bring down any candidate in the presidential election.


Obedience is the psychological mechanism that links individual action to political purpose. It is the dispositional cement that binds human to systems of authority. Facts of recent history and observation in daily life suggest that for many people obedience may be a deeply ingrained behavior tendency, indeed, a prepotent impulse overriding training in ethics, sympathy, and moral conduct.

Obey. 

  • Go to Iowa first. 
  • Then, go to New Hampshire.
  • If you win caucus, continue
  • Else, suspend your campaign
  • Participate in the debate in CNN or FOX
  • Go to South Carolina
  • Then, Super Tuesday
Ask No Questions. 
Just Obey and follow the tradition.

Don't ever read the Constitution of United States. 
Just follow the command that comes from DNC & RNC.
They are the legitimate authority of selecting the President for America.


Conservative philosophers argue that the very fabric of society is threatened by disobedience, and even when the act prescribed by an authority is an evil one, it is better to carry out the act than to wrench at the structure of authority. 

Hobbes stated further that an act so executed is in no sense the responsibility of the person who carries it out but only of the authority that orders it. 

But humanists argue for the primacy of individual conscience in such matters, insisting that the moral judgments of the individual must override authority when the two are in conflict.

Ben Carson & Republican party are now in conflict.

Donald Trump & Republican party are not in conflict; in fact, they are together.
Donald Trump would strengthen the party. Trump is not a threat to GOP.

But, Ben Carson is a threat to GOP. Not only to GOP, but also to DNC.

Ben Carson conscience; moral judgments will override 
the legitimate authority of GOP.

This message is from Gandhi to Ben Carson:

First, they ignore you;
then, they laugh at you;
then, they fight you;
then, you win.

Each time the subject hesitates to administer shock, the experimenter orders him to continue. To extricate himself from the situation, the subject must make a clear break with authority. The aim of this investigation was to find when and how people would defy authority in the face of a clear moral imperative.

When and how Ben Carson would defy GOP authority in the face of a clear moral imperative. A moral imperative is a principle originating inside a person's mind that compels that person to act.

It is now or never.

 Hillary Clinton is the best example. Hillary hesitated in 2008. Hillary couldn't make a clear break with DNC authority.  Opportunity comes only once. Once lost is lost forever.



A reader’s initial reaction to the experiment may be to wonder why anyone in his right mind would administer even the first shocks. Would he not simply refuse and walk out of the laboratory? But the fact is that no one ever does. 

The future generation would wonder why anyone in her/his right mind would go through these primaries and caucuses elimination process. Why did they go to Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada and Super Tuesday?

Why didn't they simply refuse and go on their own as an independent?

Why do you need a debate to elect a president? Does the job demand debate skill?

Barack Obama did very well in the presidential debate. But, as the President, Barack Obama had never engaged in a debate with any other President or the Prime Minister. Some how, the entire selection process doesn't make any sense.

In this condition, all other nations are trying to follow America, in building their democracy. Watch,  



Since the subject has come to the laboratory to aid the experimenter, he is quite willing to start off with the procedure. There is nothing very extraordinary in this, particularly since the person who is to receive the shocks seems initially cooperative, if somewhat apprehensive. What is surprising is how far ordinary individuals will go in complying with the experimenter’s instructions. Indeed, the results of the experiment are both surprising and dismaying. Despite the fact that many subjects experience stress, despite the fact that many protest to the experimenter, a substantial proportions continue to the last shock on the generator.

What is surprising is how far these individuals will go in complying with the DNC & RNC instructions. Constitution provides freedom. But still, people would like to conform to traditional elimination process.

Many subjects will obey the experimenter no matter how vehement the pleading of the person being shocked, no matter how painful the shocks seem to be, and no matter how much the victim pleads to be let out. This was seen time and again in our studies and has been observed in several universities where the experiment was repeated. It is the extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority that constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation.

Even Donald Trump is willing to go to any lengths on the command of GOP, Fox News authority. Just obey and participate in the debate. You have no freedom to boycott Fox News Debate.

What, then, keeps the person obeying the experimenter? First, there is a set of “binding factors” that lock the subject into the situation. They include such factors as politeness on his part, his desire to uphold his initial promise of aid to the experimenter, and the awkwardness of withdrawal. 

Second, a number of adjustments in the subject’s thinking occur that undermine his resolve to break with the authority. The adjustments help the subject maintain his relationship with the experimenter, while at the same time reducing the strain brought about by the experimental conflict. They are typical of thinking that comes about in obedient persons when they are instructed by authority to act against helpless individuals.

The individual is weak in his solitary opposition to authority, but the group is strong. The archetype event is depicted by Freud (1921), who recounts how oppressed sons band together and rebel against the despotic father. 

Delacroix portrays the mass in revolt against unjust authority; Gandhi successfully pits the populace against British authority in nonviolent encounter; prisoners at Attica Penitentiary organize and temporarily challenge prison authority. The individual’s relationship with his peers can compete with, and on occasion supplant, his ties to authority. 


At this point a distinction must be made between the terms obedience and conformity. 

Conformity, in particular, has a very broad meaning, but for the purposes of this discussion, I shall limit it to the action of a subject when he goes along with his peers, people of his own status, who have no special right to direct his behavior. Obedience will be restricted to the action of the subject who complies with authority. 

Consider a recruit who enters military service. He scrupulously carries out the orders of his superiors. At the same time, he adopts the habits, routines, and language of his peers. The former represents obedience and the latter, conformity.

Read the Constitution of United States of America and act; that is freedom; and it is a respect to the Founding Fathers and Mothers of America.

Going to Iowa to Super Tuesday is conformity. It has been the habits, routines and language of the traditional politicians. Do you need to adopt those habits.

For further reading:
________________

Obedience and conformity both refer to the abdication of initiative to an external source. But they differ in the following important ways:

1. Hierarchy. Obedience to authority occurs within a hierarchical structure in which the actor feels that the person above has the right to prescribe behavior. Conformity regulates the behavior among those of equal status; obedience links one status to another.

2. Imitation. Conformity is imitation but obedience is not. Conformity leads to homogenization of behavior, as the influenced person comes to adopt the behavior of peers. In obedience, there is compliance without imitation of the influencing source. A soldier does not simply repeat an order given to him but carries it out.

3 Explicitness. In obedience, the prescription for action is explicit, taking the form of an order or command. In conformity, the requirement of going along with the group often remains implicit. Thus, in Asch’s experiment on group pressure, there is no overt requirement made by group members that the subject go along with them. The action is spontaneously adopted by the subject. Indeed, many subjects would resist an explicit demand by group members to conform, for the situation is defined as one consisting of equals who have no right to order each other about.

4. Voluntarism. The dearest distinction between obedience and conformity, however, occurs after the fact-that is, in the manner in which subjects explain their behavior. Subjects deny conformity and embrace obedience as the explanation of their actions. 

Let me clarify this. In Asch’s experiments on group pressure, subjects typically understate the degree to which their actions were influenced by members of the group. They belittle the group effect and try to play up their own autonomy, even when they have yielded to the group on every trial. They often insist that if they made errors in judgment, these were nonetheless their own errors, attributable to their faulty vision or bad judgment. They minimize the degree to which they have conformed to the group.

Ben Carson quits


The Pandavas led by Krishna decided to cheat in the war by breaking the rules. Lord Krishna knew that it was not possible to defeat Drona face to face. He also knew Drona’s love for his son Ashwathama who was fighting alongside his father.

An elephant named Ashwathama was present at the Kurukshetra battlefield. Bhima killed this elephant and shouted, "Ashwathama is dead". When Drona heard this he got down from his chariot as he couldn’t believe his ears. He approached Yudhistira as he knew that Yudhistira would never lie.

Yudhistira replied to Drona that ‘Ashwathama is dead’ but then he also added ‘not your son but an elephant’. However Drona couldn’t hear the second part as the drums and trumpets on the Pandava side started playing loudly (on Krishna’s instructions). Drona dropped his weapons and started meditating and was beheaded by enemies.

The son Ashwathama couldn’t bear the sadness of his father’s death and he was enraged by it. He decided to avenge Drona’s death by using the Narayanastra, which was an extremely powerful weapon. Huge numbers of the Pandava army was killed by this weapon but somehow the Pandavas survived.

__________________________________________

In the battlefield, they were not supposed to kill elephant and horse. Still, they did kill the elephant, Ashwathama. Then they passed the misinformation and caused confusion. It was a lie; but still they presented as information which was misunderstood by others.

The presidential election is not a high school sport. It's not even a Super Bowl game. It is a war and all are enemies. You need to eliminate the enemies standing on this platform and then you need to eliminate the enemy of the other party. It is a war. The end matters; not the means. By hook or by crook, win it.

The end result is, Ted Cruz won Iowa. On the other side, by flipping a coin, Hillary Clinton won. The winners took advantage of the situation. The news media keeps all their senses open for receiving any challenges. When CNN announced about Ben Carson, others couldn't take advantage of the situation. But, Ted Cruz team saw an innovative opportunity in CNN announcement and they took advantage of it. In business, this quality is appreciated and is rewarded. In politics also, this action is regarded as a qualification to transform real world challenges into innovative opportunities for America.

In other sports, when they find out the winner have drug abuse, they may take away the gold medal from the winner and give it to the next person. But not in politics.

In general, human beings could be identified as:
  • Innocent
  • Ignorant
  • Intelligent
  • Clever
  • Cunning
When born, all human beings are innocents. But then, as they grow up, they lose their innocence. A very few, live and die as innocents. For them, the entire life is a struggle from cradle to graveyard; they struggle to keep their innocence.

Even in fiction like House of Cards, the writer couldn't come up with an innocent character. It is a surprise to learn about the innocence of Ben Carson. He is innocent. Ben Carson cannot survive in this race for White House.

It is not an election to the Pope. It is an election to the highest authority on planet earth. Ben Carson may be a right fit to become a Pope and preach peace for the world. Perhaps, Ben Carson would be more surprised, when he goes through the process in Vatican. It is not a transparent election.  

Nobody in United States of America is cunning. Politicians in other parts of the world are cunning. It's not that they want to be cunning; but they have to be cunning for their survival. It is not the fault of the players. It is the fault of the platform. The platform is crooked. 

United Kingdom doesn't have a written constitution. So, all politicians have to be cunning for their survival. The fact is, the House of Cards original is about the British politics. Only one politician on the British platform did survive without cunning; that was Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill was intelligent; but not cunning. His mother was an American.  

Winston Churchill's political career was a total failure. He couldn't survive in Stanley Baldwin politics. Winston Churchill was about to retire from the British politics; but in 1940, Great Britain needed Churchill. After the war, Churchill was no longer needed. In 1945, Winston Churchill lost the election.

Ignorance in the executive branch will be a dangerous one. In a nuclear submarine, when a person does a thing out of ignorance, it will be considered as a felony. Whether that ignorant action causes damage or not, the punishment is the same. In 2008, Hillary Clinton had a clean record. But, as Secretary of State, out of ignorance about the security of email servers, now her records are not clean. More over, it looks like Obama fired Hillary from the Secretary of State job and hired John Kerry. It is obvious, John Kerry has made a difference with his performance as Secretary of State.  John Kerry may still have an ambition and opportunity to become the President of United States.

The political platform in the United States of America is the best one. The platform was built 300 years ago by the founding fathers. It will last for many more centuries. This is the best platform for intelligent persons. There was no need for being clever and cunning on this platform. Just be truthful; you could perform very well.

Right now, Frank Underwood is dominating in American politics with his cleverness. 

When Claire Underwood enters into American politics, that will be the end of Frank Underwood politics in Washington D.C.

Claire Underwood is not an innocent; not an ignorant; not clever and cunning. But Claire Underwood is an intelligent person. Intelligent person needs two basic things; one is food; another is sex. They have their own list of things as moral value. Truth is the way they live. They cannot pretend or lie. They cannot fake and they cannot tolerate others faking.

Claire Underwood doesn't have skill to deliver an impressive speech; but Claire Underwood speaks truth and nothing but truth. Claire Underwood speaks like any ordinary citizen; in their language. Claire Underwood could never learn the art of the politicians of Washington D.C

Truth is like a new born baby. Have you observed new born baby? a fresh one? You don't care about cleanliness or beauty or fancy dress. You enjoy the freshness. 

Intelligent person delivers truth; the raw one; not polished truth; not with any fancy dress. Truth is naked. The media has been used to monotonous, memorized 25 seconds speech of legislative members. The executive is not about speech; it is all about action. 

Claire Underwood has no experience of Frank Underwood. Does America need the experience of Frank Underwood. The challenges and opportunities are always new and fresh. Experience doesn't help in facing challenges and opportunities. In fact, experience has been burden for innovation.

Silicon Valley is the proof for innovation. Here, experience doesn't matter. Freshness, open mind and learning skills are the basic ingredient for innovation. With the burden of experience, people cease to learn new things. Discard experienced politicians.

Earlier media used to cook food of their choice and feed people with it. Media never try to understand about people and their need. People need is to learn truth. People do not want to listen to speech. People would enjoy action.

With social media, with her intelligence, Claire Underwood enters into the presidential race of United States of America on March 4.

GOP nominates Marco Rubio

The Grand Old Party nominates Marco Rubio as Republican presidential candidate. With Marco nomination, it will become a Grand Young Party. Marco may choose a young lady for Vice Presidential candidate. May be an african-american VP.  That is GOP plan for 2016.

On the Democrats side, Hillary Clinton won the nomination. Hillary fought with the establishment about the tie and made them to declare a win for Hillary. Bernie Sanders was in the same situation of Al Gore 2000.

Both political establishments have decided their candidates. It will be between Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio. The pattern continues. It's Republican turn to live in the White House. Marco Rubio will be the President of United States of America. The entire continent of America, from Canada to Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and Argentina, also from Spain and Portugal would celebrate Marco's victory. All others could now go home and enjoy their life.

American politics is Frank Underwood's House of Cards. The world witnessed it at Iowa.

Come on! Flip a coin!!!

And you call this as the most advanced and developed nation on earth. The Chinese are laughing at this democracy. In India, they have microprocessor based electronic voting machine and they announce results in fraction of a second to a very high precision value. What would you do, if there are more than two candidates; would you roll a dice.

Why don't you adopt the soccer game plan? Give an extra time for the game and then if it is still a tie, then give a penalty shot and then a sudden death way.

Ted Cruz. Iowa is not a win for Ted. GOP cannot take a chance on Ted. Ted is not eligible for the Executive President. So, GOP chose Marco Rubio.

It's Frank Underwood suggestion to let Ted win Iowa and then onwards it will be Marco Rubio; and slowly Ted will be sidelined. GOP had already given up on Donald J Trump.

It is a survival for the political establishment. They are not going to give up.

It is Frank Underwood's House of Cards.  

House of Cards may appear to be a very strong one. But, the fact is, The Constitution of United States is a living document. It is the best software designed and developed 300 years ago by the best team of developers.  It is bug free; robust, flexible. It is agile and extensible.

It is now, House of Cards versus US Constitution.

It is now, We, The People versus We, The Political Establishments.

It will no longer be the government of Republicans and Democrats.

It will be the government of We, The People.

It is just House of Cards. When true people come forward, the House of Cards would collapse.

It is just Iowa caucus; not the general election.

Perhaps, in the history, 2016 would be the last year for any caucus election. There will not be any primary or caucus election in Iowa in future. The next generation would laugh at us for flipping a coin to elect an Executive  Presidential candidate.

Donald J Trump challenges the GOP


The Debate

This is the first time, people get to choose between two events. People are familiar with the legacy debate in the television; same old moderators; same old format; same old questions; and same old answers. Nothing new will be there in the legacy debate; it is okay to miss live; people could watch it later on rebroadcasting or in online video.

But, Donald Trump event is new. People were curious to learn about the setting, presentations, format and also Trump's speech. You won't believe it; almost for 15 minutes, people were watching the empty stage, audiences and other activities. But they didn't switch over to Fox to watch the debate.

Then Donald Trump walked in and gave a speech. Very simple, straight to the point; not talking anything bad about anybody. When he is not irritated, Trump maintains his coolness. Donald Trump may be a rich person; but he is like an average Joe. That is the reason, general public easily connects with Donald Trump.

One reason may be his construction business. In his business, Donald Trump may be comfortable with both executives as well as construction workers.  In high-tech industry, the CEO may limit his/her connection with the top-level management executives; but not in construction or in agriculture or in a manufacturing factory. Naturally, the construction company CEO feels comfortable with the language of construction workers. It is not bad at all. In fact, it is real and no faking in that relationship.

In high-tech industry, the management pretends to be nice and on many instances, without any consideration, they do lay-off or let go their staffs. In construction business, the CEO may kick ass of their workers; but let them continue to live and work for them. Even in dismissing an executive, Donald Trump says, "You're Fired." It is simple; what you see is what you get. There are no two personalities in Trump. In today's world, very few has this basic human quality.

Donald Trump's speech was short; but clearly conveyed his vision. Trump offered the stage for Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum. In fact, both did use the stage for their advantage and they delivered a good speech better than their undercard debate.

Undercard debate may be a new idea and innovation of the legacy news media. The legacy media invents this for their survival. Do they announce one winner from Undercard and one from Uppercard debate.

Right now, it looks like, Donald Trump has already been qualified with gold medal, Uppercard debate is for the second position silver medal and Undercard debate is the third position bronze medal.

The whole election campaign process has been going on for two years. With so many debates, going around primaries and caucus, going around the entire nation from east coast to west coast, all these candidates are tired and exhausted. After the end of two years journey, the elected president has celebration for a quarter and then onwards starts resting at White House. After these exhaustion, the elected president will not have any energy to perform his job. At that time, external forces execute their attack on United States.

Somehow, the democracy model of government is now reduced to a political entertainment with many episodes and seasons; with long, tiring campaign followed by a high-profile election. Once the election is over, all three branches are in conflict. Democracy is full of talk, slogans; but no actions.

Single party government in China is the best alternative to democracy. Islamic State is an another effective model of government without the burden of Legislative and Judicial branches. In other models of government, they have only one branch and that is Executive branch. In one whole executive model, the government works effectively without any conflicts, chaos and confusions.

There is no point in continuing with the current model of debate for presidential election. These debates have hidden agenda. The legacy television media see debate as business opportunity. The moderators see debate as the advancement of their careers. The moderators have competition among themselves and the questions are not flowing naturally. They came prepared with questions. They may have rehearsed several times. All they care about is, staging their rehearsal in front of larger audience. The entire debate is now a theater drama with actors playing their roles and delivering their dialogues.

In an elementary or high school, or in a college, or in an university - students may ask questions, in trying to learn and understand things and the teacher or professor will answer those questions and help their students to learn the subject. At the end of the semester, teachers conduct test and ask questions to evaluate the understanding of the students.

In the presidential debate, it is not clear. Are these moderators trying to learn from these candidates?  Or do they evaluate these candidates with these questions? These debates are like the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Moderators ask questions and candidates are expected to answer to qualify for the presidential elections.

But in this debate, candidates didn't answer moderators questions. Many times the candidates were rude and asked the moderators that why did you ask this question. People don't ask these questions; then why do you ask these questions. Moderators couldn't help; they remained silent.

For many questions, candidates responded with a long political discourse and avoided answering the question. Again, moderators could't help and moderators said that okay, let us move on.

Moderator asked Ben Carson. Do you think the GOP messaging on Muslims has stoked the flames of bias on this as the Democrats suggest, and how would you answer this veteran?

CARSON: Well, I don't know about the GOP messaging, but I can tell you about my messaging. You know, need to stop allowing political correctness to dictate our policies, because it's going to kill us if we don't.

In Russia, China, India, United Kingdom, the candidate could not make a statement like this. Candidate cannot have his or her own policy. Candidate has to understand and execute the political party policy. Grand Old Party is totally irrelevant for democracy in United States.

At the end, Ben Carson tweeted that he didn't get enough opportunity in the debate. Perhaps Donald Trump could you have provided a stage for others without any interruptions of a bell sound.

For this decade, GOP or any other political party have no relevance in United States. The legacy television debates lost its entertainment value. Serious candidates are now challenging the traditions. Only a few feel comfortable with the tradition and they keep trying to maintain it forever.

All current events are now getting recorded and the future generations may watch them and they may wonder about these political traditions. Certainly, they are not going to adopt this elimination process.

For Donald J Trump, skipping this debate is like testing the water. Megyn Kelly was not the main reason for skipping the debate. Even Fox News was not the reason too. GOP is the main reason.

The truth is, Donald J Trump did challenge the GOP. Let the party nominate Donald J Trump or he is ready to go as an independent.

When Donald J Trump go independent, the GOP may nominate Ted Cruz. In that situation, Donald J Trump would challenge Ted Cruz in Supreme Court for his eligibility. The GOP does not have a plan B and could not announce an other candidate. The GOP will be in a state of shock.

Donald J Trump compared GOP debate with Democrats debate. Democrats has only three candidates; but here in GOP, why do we still have so many on the platform. What is the need for having an undercard debate at this stage.

Donald J Trump has already picked up his competitive candidate. In this event, Donald J Trump mentioned Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump said, more people are going to Bernie Sanders meeting.

Megyn Kelly for George Washington's Job


Megyn Kelly Unfazed By Trump Drama

She says she will keep asking hard questions at Thursday's debate

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump has had lots of bad things to say about Fox News Host Megyn Kelly. He has called her “very biased,” implied that her hormonal cycle affects her journalism and tweeted as recently as Wednesday, “I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct. Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!”

Kelly knows all the sound and fury is part of Trump’s brand. “I haven’t been on Twitter as much lately,” she deadpans. Speaking more broadly about the tone of the 2016 race, she cautions that some of the candidates have been cavalier in their approach. “They want George Washington’s job. They all need to watch their communications carefully,” she said.

Even before the latest chapter in the Trump-Fox spat, Kelly was preparing for a debate that she promises will focus on substance and not personalities. It will be the final time the candidates meet face-to-face before Iowa’s Feb. 1 caucuses. “This is probably Debate 501. We’ve moved past Debate 101,” Kelly said. As such, her questions are going to be even tougher.

But that doesn’t mean she’s going out on limbs or trying to trick candidates, she said. “I won’t be asking any questions to which I don’t know the answers,” she said. It’s an approach she brings to the anchor chair after years as an attorney. “It’s your journalistic responsibility. It’s a security blanket,” she said.

That preparation has helped her keep the candidates honest when they try to blow off her questions, whether on the debate stage or on her nightly show, The Kelly File. When she quotes one of their earlier statements or cites a statistic, she makes a point of having the original source just off-camera. “You only have to take that lesson once or twice,” she said.

It will be Kelly’s second turn as a debate moderator during the 2016 campaign, but perhaps not her last. Asked if she would like to moderate one of the three general-election debates between the eventual Republican and Democratic candidates, she had little hesitation. “Hell yes,” she said.

She added that she remains disappointed that the Democrats didn’t partner with Fox News for one of their debates. “They’re crazy not to come over here. We have proven that we are not in the tank for anyone,” Kelly said. “It’s going to be fair, if they did it.”

_______________________________________________________

First and foremost, we do appreciate Megyn Kelly for that high value sentence,

"It's George Washington's Job"

Yes, it is. For this statement, Megyn Kelly qualifies for George Washington's job.
________________________________________________________

Next thing is, it is a crisis situation at Fox.  The situation is equivalent to September 11 attack on Twin Towers. And, Megyn Kelly is quite, calm, undisturbed, stay focus and continue to working on preparations for the debate. 

Crisis demands leadership. So, Megyn Kelly has leadership qualities and she qualifies for George Washington's job.
________________________________________________________

“I won’t be asking any questions to which I don’t know the answers,” Megyn Kelly said. 

She knows the questions. She knows the answers. Then why are we still looking for the right person for the job. Megyn Kelly qualifies for George Washington's job.
_________________________________________________________

she remains disappointed that the Democrats didn’t partner with Fox News for one of their debates.

This is bipartisanship. She tries to reach Democrats. Megyn Kelly tries to find a common platform for all.  Megyn Kelly qualifies for George Washington's job.

_______________________________________________________


This is what gonna happen on Thursday evening.

Megyn Kelly sits in the moderator chair.

All candidates start coming in.

Donald Trump doesn't show up.

The center stage is empty.

Chris Wallace, the moderator says, "the show will go on with or without Trump."

Megyn Kelly stands up and says, "as Trump walks away from the debate stage, I also walk away from the moderator stage." Megyn Kelly walks into backstage.

A new person gets introduced as a moderator replacing Megyn Kelly.

All candidates are ready. All moderators are ready.

The debate is about to begin. Millions of viewers worldwide watching the show.

Megyn Kelly walks into the stage with a new dress and stands in the center stage.
One person fixes a new name plate on top of Donald Trump.

It says, Megyn Kelly.

All candidates are looking around with surprise and shock.

Marco asks, "Megyn, are you going to ask questions from standing here?"

Megyn just smiles.

The moderator says, "Megyn, you have 2 minutes to make your statement."

Megyn looks at the camera and starts talking to We, The People.

It is an accident. But I am ready for it. I am going to run for the presidential election.

Within 5 minutes in Twitter, Anderson Cooper announces that he is going to challenge Megyn Kelly.

Anderson Cooper for President of the United States

Television Anchor becoming President of United States

Anderson Cooper for President of the United States



Hey Anderson,

Let us see whether you qualify to become President of the United States.

Most of the content are from Wikipedia and other web sites.

You were born in New York city. Do you have your birth certificate?

Cooper was educated at the Dalton School, a co-educational independent school in New York City. At age 17, after graduating from the Dalton School a semester early, Cooper travelled around Africa for several months on a "survival trip". He contracted malaria on the trip and was hospitalized in Kenya. Describing the experience, Cooper wrote "Africa was a place to forget and be forgotten in."  Cooper went on to attend Yale University, where he resided in Trumbull College, and was inducted into the Manuscript Society. majoring in political science and graduated in 1989.

During college, Cooper spent two summers as an intern at the Central Intelligence Agency.  Cooper then entered Myanmar on his own with his forged press pass and met with students fighting the Burmese government.  After reporting from Burma, Cooper lived in Vietnam for a year to study the Vietnamese language at the University of Hanoi.  Anderson was filming and assembling reports of Vietnamese life and culture. He later returned to filming stories from a variety of war-torn regions around the globe, including Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda.

On assignment for several years Cooper had very slowly become desensitized to the violence he was witnessing around him; the horrors of the Rwandan Genocide became trivial: "I would see a dozen bodies and think, you know, it's a dozen, it's not so bad."

Describing his philosophy as an anchor, Cooper has said: I think the notion of traditional anchor is fading away, the all-knowing, all-seeing person who speaks from on high. I don't think the audience really buys that anymore. As a viewer, I know I don't buy it. I think you have to be yourself, and you have to be real and you have to admit what you don't know, and talk about what you do know, and talk about what you don't know as long as you say you don't know it.

Cooper covered a number of important stories in 2005, including the tsunami damage in Sri Lanka; the Cedar Revolution in Beirut, Lebanon; the death of Pope John Paul II; and the royal wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles.

During CNN coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, he confronted Sen. Mary Landrieu, Sen. Trent Lott, and the Rev. Jesse Jackson about their perception of the government response. As Cooper said later in an interview with New York magazine, “Yeah, I would prefer not to be emotional and I would prefer not to get upset, but it’s hard not to when you’re surrounded by brave people who are suffering and in need.”

As Broadcasting & Cable magazine noted, "In its aftermath, Hurricane Katrina served to usher in a new breed of emo-journalism, skyrocketing CNN's Anderson Cooper to superstardom as CNN's golden boy and a darling of the media circles because of his impassioned coverage of the storm."

In October 2007 Cooper began hosting the documentary Planet in Peril, with Sanjay Gupta and Jeff Corwin on CNN. In 2008 he, Gupta, and Lisa Ling from National Geographic Explorer teamed up for a sequel, "Planet in Peril: Battle Lines," which premiered in December 2008. In 2007 he also began hosting CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute, a show which honors and recognizes extraordinary deeds by ordinary people.

Anderson Cooper broadcasts live across the globe with Hurricane Isaac updates on Monday (August 27) from New Orleans, La. Anderson stayed in the area for the storm, and witnessed first hand some of the damage it caused. “After 8 hours in the storm I am now dry and warm and reminded of how lucky I am. So many around the world have no safe shelter, no warm bed” Anderson tweeted. The storm has left thousands in flooded conditions without power, and heavy rains and wind still continue to barrage the targeted areas. Our thoughts go out to those affected by Hurricane Isaac.

Anderson, your resume looks very impressive. You have been all around the world. That’s good. But, you know, there are only two paths available to become President of United States. Did you go to those conventions.

No, I couldn’t go to Republican National Convention. I was reporting Hurricane Isaac.

Anderson, that is the best thing to do; not just reading the news from a comfortable studio or reporting from convention floor; you were there, facing the storm. So, when there is a crisis, you lead from the front. Crisis demands leadership. I think, Anderson, people may consider your candidacy. But, either of those two parties need to nominate you
.
You know, America is all about two party system. American democracy is built on two party. In China, it is single party. They have no freedom; but Americans have freedom to choose either from Coca-Cola or from Pepsi. Of course, freedom of choice is limited. In the British model, they have many political parties. More parties means more freedom to choose from. More choices lead to more confusions and chaos.

Single party system effectively works in China. One cannot blame others for his or her failure. The single party is responsible for success and for failure too. That is the reason, China is still strong in its economy and they won several medals in Olympics. There is no unemployment in China.

The Founding Fathers did a mistake. Constitution of United States supports only two party system. Even though you qualify to be a candidate for President of United States, US constitution doesn’t give you an opportunity. Constitution denied the opportunity to Hillary Clinton and several others.

Mean while, Wolf Blitzer was referring to the constitution. Now, with electronic copy, you could easily search for words. Wolf was searching for words, primary, party, dnc, rnc, nomination; no such words exist in the constitution document. When it hurts them, then humans take a fresh look at the constitution. Till then, humans live in their accumulated knowledge. Wolf Blitzer interrupted and said that Anderson, you can have your name in the ballot. That is not at all a problem.

Aaron Brown lost his job when you came in; we don’t know who is going to lose job, now.

Anderson, President job is not an easy one; sometimes as the President you may need to make some tough decision. In your profile, you visited those war-torn regions. You visited once the war was over. You had  not seen the war; that may be tough for you to handle such a situation.

Anderson said that he was reporting  from the border between Syria and Turkey.

Anderson, your experience from the real killing field makes the best Commander-in-Chief.

Anderson, nothing can now stop you from getting your name on the ballot; people know you; you are real; you don’t hide any truth. You don’t need to invest huge money in any advertisements and campaign materials. Your work is your action. You can. You can win this election and become the President of United States. But, the problem is, you don’t have a majority in Congress. Whatever is now happening to Obama may happen to you. As the President, you can make policy; but Congress may not vote in favor. So, you cannot deliver. Anderson, you cannot be an effective President.

Again, Wolf Blitzer was extensively searching the constitution document, with a fresh interest of a young school kid. Then, Wolf said that Anderson, there is a clear separation between the executive and the legislative.  As the executive, you have nothing to do with the legislative and policy making. The legislative makes the policy and as the executive, you just execute those policies. If it doesn’t work, let them know; they will discuss and make necessary amendments.

Wolf was whispering to Anderson; democrats controlled congress; or republican controlled congress; partisan; bipartisan; all are irrelevant. All three branches are equal and they are three parts. All three parts constitute and form the government. There is no hierarchy. Each branch is independent and has a role to play and has responsibility to deliver their results. So, for the success and for the failure, you can not just blame one branch. Together, all branches work and lift America to a new level.

Anderson, then said, running America is just like running CNN.  Let us do it.

Sanjay Gupta, Secretary of Health.

Christiane Amanpour, Secreatary of State.

Television Anchor becoming President of United States



Hey Anderson,

There was a movie made in India. It is all about a television anchor becoming the President. As part of his profession, this television anchor was interviewing the head of the state. During the interview, the TV guy asked so many questions. For instance, you as television anchor interviewing the President.

You ask questions about the economy, about Afghanistan, about employment and so many tough questions. The President tries to give you diplomatic answer; the President is not willing to go into details. The President keeps complaining about the system; about Congress and its members. But, you are not taking those as answers. The President lost his cool and challenged the television anchor.

The President says, “Anderson, it is easy to ask questions. Politics is not easy as you think. There are so many challenges. Real challenges from outside; internal economic and employment problems. And a very tough Congress. It is not an easy job.”



Anderson says, “Yes. Mr. President. Those things do exist. Everyone knows about it. President of United States is a very challenging job. But still people do expect you to deliver; people are not willing to listen to your excuses.”

The President says, “Anderson, let me challenge you. Just one day; just one day; could you sit in the President chair.”

Anderson says, “Me. I am happy about my job. I don’t want to take away your job.”

The President laughs and says, “See, that is the problem. You are scared. Nobody wants to take  responsibility. But they want to question the President.”

Anderson says, “No. Mr. President. I am not scared. I just don’t wanna do.”


This time, the President seriously challenges Anderson. The President says, “Anderson, I am serious. I want you to sit in the President chair for one day. I want you to learn and understand the job of the President. Then you can report to the people with greater responsibility.”

Anderson starts thinking.  The interview is on live television. Whole America is watching.

The President continues, “Constitutionally, it is possible. If you are ready, we can have you take the oath right here, right now. If you are not ready to take up my challenge, then let us finish the interview.”

Anderson is sweating. After a while, Anderson says, “Yes. I will take up this challenge.”

Supreme court judges came to the studio. Anderson took oath and became the President of United States.

All he has is just one day.  In that one day, Anderson did wonders. All his one day actions are live on television. Along with television crew, Anderson talks to the Congress members. People are watching the performance of the Congress members. In a single day, Anderson worked with Congress members  and got their approval on all pending policies.

President Anderson talks to the people. Request the people to pay taxes immediately; tell them the importance of being true to the government and also to fellow citizens. Wall street starts working in the best of the best manner. Almost total transformation is happening all around the nation, in just one day.

With his performance, Anderson proved that the President can effectively function without any problems and can deliver the results. In climax, Anderson is about to hand over the power back to the President after the end of the day;  but people wants Anderson to continue.  Anderson participates in the election and becomes the President of United States.
