It struck me last night as I watched MSNBC, and all the talk about Trump's tortured flip-flop on immigration that this outcome was totally predictable, and that all the time leading up to this point in the election process was wasted, at least on the Republican side. 

We need a much shorter process, so the entertainment value of the election is lessened. If the people want long entertainment, give them an incredible reality show that runs 365 days a year, every year, but whose winner is merely a title-holder, not an office-holder. 

We revert to the Electoral College to choose the president, and we can choose to watch or not. Far too much depends on the outcome of what has become an incredibly strange process.
