The position as an at-large delegate for the Florida Republican Party will be the highest-profile political role thus far for Barron, former President Donald Trump’s youngest son.
It will soon be Barron Trump’s time to step into the political spotlight.
Trump, former President Donald Trump’s youngest child, who will graduate from high school next week and has largely been kept out of the political spotlight, was picked by the Republican Party of Florida on Wednesday night as one of the state’s at-large delegates to the Republican National Convention, according to a list of delegates obtained by NBC News.

In a family full of politically involved children, Barron Trump, who turned 18 in March, has retained much more of a private life than his older brothers, Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., both of whom will also be Florida at-large RNC delegates, along with Trump’s daughter Tiffany.
I think another important consideration is that the founding fathers were no more unified than today’s political leaders. We talk about how divisive the tone of discourse has become, but those old guys knew how to sling mud. They had intense disagreements about how to build the country, and no single design or designer had enough influence to get exactly what he wanted. When people start a sentence like “The founding fathers never wanted…” some probably did. They imagined all kinds of scenarios and eventualities. Some of them were fascists, some of them were abolitionists, some of them were hedonists, some of them were religious zealots. There weren’t many issues where all of the founders were of one mind, if any existed.
The difference is they were willing to give-and-take to eventually come to a mutually tolerable compromise solution.
Contrast that with today’s “if you are from the other party, I will thwart you even if it is a good idea”

I dunno, we’ve always had dogshit people in congress.
While your general thought is true, that example is from almost 100 years after the founding fathers era and in the leadup to the Civil War.
Ok, but Burr shot a Hamilton.
