We’re down to the two main candidates running for President and the public perceptions about the two are sobering. This led me to draft this poelitic. My biases are obvious, but the voting public seems to be split almost evenly between the two candidates. Even so, I came across this new website detailing one of the candidate’s numerous prevarications.
Twenty one hopefuls all campaigned within
Their Party’s state primaries, vying to win
The coveted goal of these jousting events
To be Party Nominee for President
After ten months, or so, we’re down to two
The two most unpopular, in voters’ view
Both plagued by perceptions of deeds wrongly done
Each claiming the other is unfit to run
So how is a citizen smartly to choose
Between bad-mouth-bigot and sly-Email-ruse
Where one distorts history to meet his needs
And one ignores questioned accounts of past deeds?
The candidate choice is quite simple for me
I’ll choose the most qualified; ready to be
The President next of these United States
And that choice is Clinton, no room for debate

Hear! Hear! I can’t understand how Trump has gotten so accepted by so many. As you stated–he is a bully and brings out the worst in people. How can the voters not realize what a danger he is?
He is identical to an out-of -control teenage boy.
Thank you Little Bird for your comment. You raise a telling question. One lady when interviewed stated that she supported him because he was truthful, not like most politicians. Another gentleman when interviewed stated that Trump was different, not the same old do-nothing politician. Some support him because he isn’t female like that lying Hillary. Go figure!
