A Tiny Ripple

Donald Trump, speaking at a campaign rally in Sioux Center, Iowa, January 23, 2016.

It really is unbelievable what Trump can and does get away with – and since he’s actually right about this, it means that it won’t hurt him at all. Trump could have said that in the parking lot of Sandy Hook Elementary and his polling numbers probably would have gone up.

Republican voters, if you nominate this ignorant pig, you’ll deserve every bit of the 538-0 Electoral College massacre that you’re going to get.

This entire election cycle disgusts me. None of the leading candidates to become the 45th President of the United States – from either side of the political divide – inspire any excitement or confidence in our country’s future. Less than 3 million people lived in the United States during the American Revolution, yet that era produced brilliant, monumental leaders like every single Founding Father. Today, there are 320 million people who live in this nation and we can’t find 10 likable contenders for the Presidency. I’d settle for someone who motivates me to simply want to wake up on Election Day, drive to my polling place, and cast a ballot on their behalf, but there isn’t one person in the race that does that. This country is broken and we don’t even have satisfactory options of people to hire to potentially repair it.
