The Following Is My Summarized Take on The Current Presidential Campaign

     I know that politics has always been full of dirty tricks, and underhanded dealings, but this current race for president has got to be a new low.
     On one side of the aisle we have a woman, who has the legal system snapping at her heels for her 'who gives a_____' attitude about protecting classified information that she was privy too and for running what many think is a major money laundering charity that benefits her and her husband.
     Opposing her, on that side of the aisle, is  a gentleman who nobody heard of before a few months ago, and who seems to think that socialism is the answer to all the country's woes.
     The one thing that both of these people have in common is their ability to mouth age-old political platitudes and generic and trite campaign promises.
     On the other side of the aisle, we have a plethora of candidates. One who seems to have a major disconnect between his brain and his mouth, and probably would have done well in the Old West when a quick draw and a shoot-first-and-sort-out-the-bad-guys-later attitude was in vogue. Or claiming on electronic media that the wife of an opposing candidate is homely. I mean, tell me what that has to do with a man's ability to lead our country. It certainly hasn't in the past.
     Opposing him, we have several men who seem to have no problem spreading false rumors, to make people think that a fellow candidate has dropped out of the race, in order to gain more votes for themselves. 
     The poor voters are left sucking their paws and hopping to hear a decent idea on what these would-be saviors of our country would actually do domestically or on the international scene. And why? They're too busy bad-mouthing their opponents.
     Why do these combatants behave as they do? Because that is what a certain percentage of the voters expect and appreciate, thinking that is how leaders are supposed to act. And that minority can swing enough votes to make a difference.
     Then muddying the waters is the media so bent with bias that it could be used for a corkscrew.
