    I suspect it would be good if parties moved back away from primary systems to nominate candidates Party candidates tend to be competent and anti-populist Like you don't get Trump in this system Long term its healthfulhttps://twitter.com/peterwsinger/status/1089580174335717376 …

        Teddy Roosevelt and W.J. Bryan arguably counterexamples? Jackson would be even better but I guess he came before the party system really coalesced. Granted all of the above were fairly competent, at least more so than Trump.

        It's tricky to adapt parliamentary norms into a bicameral presidential federation (could actually make things more dysfunctional). Besides the POTUS entrance, the exit might also need some reform:https://twitter.com/dkpseudo/status/940257439751868416 …

        dk added,

        dk @dkpseudo
        What if Congress could vote anonymously for impeachment & conviction (or removing POTUS via 25th Amdt)? Might transform these processes to be more like parliamentary votes of no confidence. Anonymous Congressional voting in these situations may require Constitutional Amdt.

        Of course, POTUS used to be nominated by party elites like most countries until two waves of intraparty democratic reform (Progressives in late19c/early20c and activists in 60s/70s) changed that. Not sure USA executives since then have been superior to their contemporaries.
