Loosing FB Friends During Election Year

Politics


It's another election year. Just like clockwork...4 years after the last one. We were all hoping that this year would bring better candidates. Could maybe reunite the nation and end the divisiveness of the class warfare/war on police/BLM and other things which are bringing this nation to its knees.

The esteemed 2016 candidates...err, well...2016 Presidential Hopefuls:

Democrats (because this list is much shorter):

  • Hillary Clinton
  • Rocky De La Fuente
  • Keith Russell Judd
  • Willie Wilson (lol, Willie Wilson!)
  • John Wolfe
  • Lincoln Chafee
  • Lawrence Lessig
  • Martin O'Malley
  • Jim Webb

Republicans (a much longer list...hmmm)

  • Donald Trump (wow...never thought...I...just, wow)
  • Jeb Bush
  • Ben Carson
  • Chris Christie (I really thought this guy was a Dem...)
  • Ted Cruz
  • Carly Fiorina
  • Jim Gilmore
  • Lindsey Graham (wait...Christian Evangelist?)
  • Mike Huckabee
  • Bobby Jindal
  • John Kasich
  • (yes, there are more...Holy Mother of...)
  • George Pataki
  • Rand Paul
  • Rick Perry
  • Rick Santorum
  • Marco Rubio
  • Scott Walker

Independents (be they Green Party/Libertarian or actually Independent)

  • Jill Stein (G ... which actually stands for Green Party)
  • Gary Johnson (L ... err, Libertarian)
  • Bernie Sanders (I ... hahaha, Independent...thought he was Dem, lol)

One Perverse Election Year

Out of all that we are left with...wait!...What?! Donald Trump?! Seriously people!? I know there were more qualified people in that Republican list above.... Hillary Clinton too?! Didn't we get enough scandal and corruption from the first Clinton to serve as President? Do we really need to go through that again? I know the Dem list was shorter, but there had to be better qualified candidates on there too!

Seriously though, what is wrong with the voters in this country? It's hard for me to believe that I'm actually going to see Donald Trump on a ballot for President of the United States. While I had always thought that having a businessman/woman running the country was a good idea, I don't think I had ever envisioned Donald Trump as that person. Nor did I ever expect to see Hillary Clinton as a choice! She has lied, cheated, stolen...investigated by the FBI...LIED! This is just plain ridiculous.

All of these well qualified individuals and our choices end up looking like this!:

  • Hillary Clinton (D)
  • Donald Trump (R)
  • Jill Stein (G)
  • Gary Johnson (L)

I fear our country may be doomed....
