Really, This is the Best We can Do? We Need a "None of the Above" on Our National Ballots

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

It is widely reported that of those who are planning to vote for Hillary Clinton only 12% view her as

"honest and trustworthy."

It is also widely reported that of those who are planning to vote for Donald Trump only 18% view him as

"honest and trustworthy."

I heard that on CNN about 3 days ago (8-15-16) so I decided to Google it (yes I know everything on the internet isn't always true) so here's what I found.

Business Insider-Politics (July 30th) click to see full article

 "Americans think Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is about as trustworthy as Donald Trump.According to a new Quinnipiac University poll published Thursday, 57% of voters do not view Clinton as "honest and trustworthy," compared to the 37% who believe that Clinton is trustworthy.Trump's numbers are almost identical: 58% of Americans view the GOP presidential candidate as not honest and trustworthy, compared to 33% who say they trust him."

This seems to happen a lot in national politics--major candidates are just not acceptable and we The People can't do anything about it.

That is why I am suggesting  a "We need a "None of the Above" box on our ballots! If the NOTA vote is 25% or above, we should get a new set of candidates! 

STEEMERS, what do you think, would a "None Of The Above" help our political system??
