Former Utah governor and ambassador to the People's Republic of China, Jon Huntsman, is making a play for South Carolina.
There may be hope for the Republicans after all.

A boardroom in Manhattan is missing its idiot
I have had enough of hearing about Donald Trump's presidential ambitions.
Why on Earth would we elect a man who runs on business credentials, yet has managed to have his namesake flagship operation run into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Three times.
A New York Times article sums it up best with this gem:
Aside from his own personal financial misadventures, Donald Trump has built his campaign on xenophobia, targeting Saudi Arabia and China (among other countries) for the problems America has, while making absurd statements about the Arab League having money "pouring out of their ears." Of course, this brings into question Donald Trump's understanding of "wealth" seeing as Somalia, Djibouti, Comoros, Mauritania, and Yemen are member states.
That, and he will not drop the Birth Certificate issue.
The man is a professional buffoon who has had the good fortune to play around with daddy's money for a few decades too many. Republicans, stop playing with the newest train wreck of a candidate (joining Palin, Bachmann, Gingrich and Huckabee), and field someone who could actually win. I will say it again. Jon Huntsman.

A New York Times article sums it up best with this gem:
The bank seized on the opportunity to discuss Mr. Trump’s reputation. “Trump is no stranger to overdue debt,” it said in asking that his suit be thrown out of court. It noted that Mr. Trump’s casino operations have filed for bankruptcy twice, adding, “This suit is classic Trump.”

A four party system?
Rather than waste my time telling you what you already know, the future of American politics needs a little bit of an overhaul. Goodbye two party system, hello four party chaos and the associated coalitions and other highly un-American, parliamentary sounding terms that we have avoided for the better part of 250 years.
New Federalist Party (NDP): Fiscally liberal, social liberals (Blue)
New Republican Party (NRP): Fiscally moderate, social conservatives (Red)
American Libertarian Party (ALP): Fiscally conservative, social liberals (Green)
New Republican Party (NRP): Fiscally conservative, social conservatives (Yellow)
A primitive, hypothetical map showing what a four party system would look like in a Presidential election.
