On the subject of nobility, and aristocracy:
Analytically, the leaders of the parties which developed around the time of the founding were tantamount to an unconstitutional factional nobility. They weren't a real nobility in the sense of the ancien regime, although they bore a resemblance to the British lower gentry more than to anything. Their functioning in the political process has been traitorous in nature, in terms of constitutional principles, from the beginning.

Postscript: Just one current example, from the issue of voting:
The Supreme Court Punts on Gerrymandering, proving itself an activist on partisan politics, and I would add, displaying for all to see the unconstitutional nature of American Aristocratic Factional Politics.
If you want an aristocracy, create a proper one.
Our parties are not, and will never be, that thing.
It is not, technically about money at all.
If Trump has none, as DK and others speculate, that is the then the saddest commentary, isn't it, on the so called American Money Aristocracy as a useful proper or powerful political and civilizational concept.
