@ossobuco,
As Americans, one of our most precious rights is to vote. We also have the right to vote for whoever we want. My concern in the upcoming election is that people will be trying to settle a score (that may only be known by them) and will vote for the least suitable candidate. I wish the Democrats fielded more candidates, I wish the Republicans fielded less. But they didn't, and now we are dealing with 5 people, and who really knows who will be actually be capable of functioning well in that office.
I'm not really enthused about any of them, but thems the choices. I just hope we don't go completely off the rails and elect a carnival barker like Trump. But, if that's what the rest of the voters want, I suppose I've been mistaken about the American people. We will be the laughing stock of the world. Some of you don't care how other countries view us, but when we elect a fool for a president it just trumpets we are morons and are exploitable in so many ways. I don't think any nation in the world wants their chief executive to be the joke. Maybe we will be the first in the 21st century.
