If it becomes an issue in the presidential election?

I'm sure if someone asks Trump, or hell any of the republican candidates, "is it a good idea that the US is giving up its control of the basic infrastructure of the internet?" they'd all say hell no and derail the whole thing. But that won't happen because they're too busy asking him questions about pressing issues like women he called ugly or conspiracy theorist fantasies like ISIS training camps inside the US.

I'm sure everyone else is happy with the idea of the US is loosening its grip on the internet, but handing control to ICANN is like Caesar handing over his throne to Stalin - most of the world outside of Rome might be happy Caesar is gone, until they realize he's been replaced by someone much worse.
