His VP pick will probably be a pretty good indication of how serious he is about the possibility of making real changes. Even after all of the attacks, I'm not sure he really understands what he is up against.

But even the perfect candidtae can't live in the White House without total surveillance, all of the "security" would need to be replaced with people that can be trusted & who can't be coopted or bribed (which is impossible). All computers & communication devices can be compromised, meaning that control of access to information is very likely & even control of who is able to communicate with people in power.

Political power is not a game that can be won IMO. It has to be undermined & destroyed from the outside.
