Editor,

A ‘political miracle’ popped up for me the other day. It was in the form of absorbing an hour of the Smithsonian TV channels presentation of “Picturing the Obamas.”      

Consider this: Our present democratic system of government is in danger of collapse. Our nation has depended upon two main healthy parties functioning with bipartisan sensibilities. The Republican party is presently totally unhealthy and sick. It is seriously ill without a plan for healing. 

The Trump era of political pandemonium is ‘front and center’ in the GOP. Trump’s continuing grip on a substantial number of U.S. voters is a present fact in American politics. 

So, what is this ‘little miracle’ that jumped out at me? It is that in this hour with “Picturing the Obamas,” I gained the realization that our nation’s democracy will survive and continue. Our sensible, free, and honest thinking citizens in this country will vote for and elect a majority of leaders who will advance our democratic form of government. My belief is this will definitely take place.
