Icon Selling us dumb...

I hate to think that our issue is we are idiots. Of course, we do have plenty of people that are poorly informed and angry...and those two things combined can lead to some stupid choices.

I don't understand how anybody could cast a vote for Donald Trump but in fairness I can't believe that people would vote for Hillary Clinton either. I know many people are voting for Hillary in self-defense and this I completely understand because it would be a pretty horrible thing to have President Trump.

The fact that we emerged from the primary process with these two as the main candidates for POTUS is just a bit mind-blowing but the media gave us the old hard sell on them and the Democrats fully went with the Clinton thing while the Republicans got shanghaied by their own voters and the media into Donald Trump.

So, here we are.

Funny that both Hillary and Donald are both all about claiming they are more Ronald Reagan-like than the other. Weird that the Democrats that basically began this election cycle with their boot on the throat of the Republican party and had a huge opportunity to move toward a more liberal and progressive agenda...instead decided "Well, we'd rather be more like Nixon and Reagan." and just had a nice giant shit on the liberal and progressive members of their party.

I also can't really stomach the idea that the Clinton campaign has decided to just flush all the younger voters, minority voters, and all liberals and progressives down the Potomac and instead blatantly attempt to win the election not by getting these people to vote for them but instead making their strategy a hard sell to Republicans by saying "Hey, we're more Republican than your candidate."

Which actually is true...but hideous.

The entire Bush family is voting for Hillary Clinton.

Really. That's not a joke.

Bill Clinton is out badmouthing "Obamacare."

Not a mistake. The Clinton's have made the turn and are racing toward the finish line...and it's Republican voters they are after not a guy like me and certainly not the younger voters that are future of this country, and certainly not minority voters who really should be as offended by the Clintons as they are about Trump's asinine remarks.

Donald Trump seems to find a way to make himself more awful on a daily basis so I am back believing Hillary can't lose this thing.

Honestly, it is hard to believe that Donald actually wants to win this thing...he comes across like he wants to lose. If he has not found a way to alienate, insult, or piss on whatever segment of the society you belong to...just wait, he's working on it.

So, Hillary wins and yes, it will be in part because the media and the parties themselves did all they could to make sure the voters were as poorly informed, confused, and angry as they could be.

All we win is Trump gets a different reality tv show to work rather than the White House...we still get a Republican president...but hey, at least it is a female Republican, right?
