It's finally election day. And in this case, finally really means finally. No more sophomoric bickering, name-calling, insulting slurs, and in Hillary's case, lying. OK, I take that back, Hillary will never stop lying. It's just who and what she is. But for at least four years there will be no more. No matter who wins, at least that part is over.
Is there any point in talking about if Clinton wins, then this and if Trump wins, then that. I don't think so. Like Hillary once said when being questioned about what happened in Benghazi, "What difference does it make?" Only this time we are talking about who wins an election. In that case we were talking about four American lives, who happened to be serving their country. And who had asked repeatedly for help. The depravity of a top diplomat that could publicly make such a statement just boggles my mind. The true substance of her character was revealed that day for every living American to see. And if you still want to vote for her, then good luck sleeping at night.
As for Donald Trump? Probably about the poorest choice for a President that could possibly be found. I want to believe that Trump is an intelligent, crafty man. I really do. But you certainly can't tell that by what comes out of his pie-hole. All this bullshit about he's a brilliant businessman, spare me. Trump is no more brilliant than my dog. (Sorry, buddy, that wasn't meant as an insult.) Making money is not a sign of brilliance.
But the fact remains, one of them is going to sit down in the Oval Office and assume the duties of the nation's chief executive. Zero confidence that either will do a decent job. Isn't it consoling to know that they wont be educating your children for the next four years? Or managing your retirement? Or setting your standard of living? No, they won't. You will. In spite of who becomes president, we the people will continue to be in charge of and responsible for what goes on in our homes and communities. Which in essence means we the people are responsible for what America is, at the grassroots level.
I hope your candidate wins.
If you're looking for some insight into relating what goes on in American politics to how it affects our lives you've come to the right place. I like to look at what goes on through the lenses of common sense. We have a two party system and over time each party has big successes and big failures. Each has significant accomplishments and ridiculous blunders. I try to give credit where credit is due.
