This is the first election year that I see no clear choice
on who to vote for. Wrestling with making a choice should be a good thing, but
this year it is not. In baseball, they say you can never have too much
pitching, and making a choice is a dream-like event for the manager of the
team. But the political system has let us down!
Let's look at some of them.
After the disaster of the GOP primaries, the choice came
down to one candidate, a multi-millionaire at the least who represents the
system as it exists today. It is a system of big business that is corrupt and
doing daily damage to the middle and lower classes. It strives of promises that
are deceiving, misrepresenting themselves and after the Enron scandal, ruining
the system.
Donald Trump has no experience in running any form of
elected office, plain and simple. He says things 10 years ago and flip-flopped
for the benefit of being elected. He knows nothing about foreign policy which
is crucial to the future of the US, as China and Russia become more assertive.
His lack of experience is covered up with vague promises that are covered for
his lack of knowledge in that field. He is big business with a lousy haircut.
He will get votes because the other front runner is a bigger liar.
Hillary is nothing but a carpet-bagger power hungry anti-man
who seeks to get the power for power's sake, an unsettling thing for many
voters. She has been involved in one scandal after another since her
involvement in Whitewater, way back when. It seems everything she touches has
tell-tale smoke coming from it. She can't even follow the rules as an appointed
cabinet member of the Obama Administration. She is currently under more than
one investigation into what could be a criminal activity with her personal
server, Benghazi and whatever else they will find. Somehow I think there are
other scandals to be uncovered as the FBI continues its investigation. I'm
sorry, as a candidate, she must be avoided. She has made a fortune from the
treasuries of big business repeatedly!
The least offensive of the group is Bernie Sanders. He is a
socialist, and that is a bad word to Americans. Why, because the advent of
communism until the fall of it in the Soviet Union has always conjured
impressions of underlining socialism. But socialism doesn't have to be a dirty
word, it can be a panacea for the middle and lower classes in America. If
applied right, it could be beneficial so that the rich stop getting richer and
more privileged at the expense of the poor and middle class.
Bernie needs to explain his plan in economic terms to the
public, so in general, it will understand the benefits of it.
