Subjected to Insanity

Sometimes I think the United States is unwittingly being used as mass participants in a cruel game of how much the citizens can take in this Presidential Election.Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. This has to be the most bizarre game in the history of mankind. What kind of system has evolved in American politics that would allow two such unlikable, rude people to face off as our leader?Our country has had its share of scandalous citizens running and winning public offices, but never have we had such a pair of disliked and untrustworthy contenders. It seems like having no morals and a lack of respect for the citizens is now a prerequisite for running for office. Our country was founded upon freedom and pride in our government. All we are hearing is about Trump's tax returns and lack of respect for women, Hispanics, blacks, and Muslims. All we are hearing about Hillary are how half the country are deplorables and about her 33,000 E mails on her private server. Haven't we as a country had about enough of this insane barbs at each other?Neither has the first clue as to how to get our country back as the leader of the free world. The real problem is that the earlier contenders in both parties were no better. Bernie Sanders ,I think is probably the most sincere and likable of all the candidates. Liked by all young voters, he nonetheless wanted to give everything away to the masses. He is a Socialist with a Robin Hood complex. I feel I Like Bernie,yet he is a Don Quixote fighting windmills.I just wouldn't have felt the Burn enough to pull the lever.Cervantes would have felt a comradeship toward Bernie. "Little Marco" Rubio felt he had a lot to offer the country ,but found little support other than Nikki Haley , the 42 year old governor of South Carolina, who incidentally took the place of the philandering ex- governor who inexplicitly would disappear to Argentina at times. Chris Christie seemed to have taken pleasure in clogs in traffic at bridges, and now holds Trump's hand. Rand Paul didn't even score in the game and dropped out. Mitt flirted with the idea but never dropped in. Ted gave it his all but sulled up and went home, a poor loser.He sulked his way back to Texas. Carly Fiorina gave it her all but Trump steamrolled over her and she went to be Ted's running mate,to no avail.Carly is certainly no slouch as a MIT graduate and first female CEO of a Top 20 Company. She is also the first woman to fire 30,000 employees while leading Hewlett-Packard. She took her millions and went home. Jeb Bush had dreams of becoming the third in his family but lost steam and took Brother George's support with him. Paul Ryan, while not a candidate hovered around the peripheries like a little Diva. McConnell did the same, while sputtering around like an old grandmother ,both impotent to stop Trump.This sets the stage where every American is a loser regardless of who wins the election. Hillary promises 4 more years of Obama , which really gives us all something to wait with bated breath .Should Trump win, it's like "What's Behind Door Number 3?"We are about to enter the World's Biggest Reality Show, where there are no winners. There is no precedent for such an important event being hijacked by the two most inept and disliked people in the free world.This is going to be the beginning of an era in American History that could very well effect the entire world's population.I hope that our country can navigate through the next four years ,and that some sensible, caring,and patriotic people will come forward to lead our country. It has been said that cream rises to the top, but in this case other things have floated from the bottom, and they are not cream, if you catch the gist of what I'm saying.The Fifth Estate fawns over Hillary, as well as the Trailer Trash of Hollywood. The rednecks and working class are behind Trump. I will vote come Election Day, but I resent the fact that we have become a part of the world's most cruel reality show.
