This election for president of the United States is beyond belief. It appears that if either candidate had good sense about themselves they could be walking away with this contest.
According to Good Clear Politics from the Internet the average from 8 polls shows Donald and Hillary in a virtual deal heat in the race to be the most unfavorable. Trump shows 58.6% unfavorable with Ms. Clinton close behind at 55.3% unfavorable.
Gee, I wonder why?
Trump has insulted every possible faction of the electorate starting with John McCain and moving on. Too many to count!
Clinton’s Saturday gaff – characterizing Trump’s backers as a “bigoted basket of deplorables” becomes even more amazing if you believe that remark was reportedly not conceived by the candidate, but written by her speech writers, approved by her staff and then read from a teleprompter during her speech.
Next we get to the health issues. Trump’s Doctor and his comical letter would seem to have been better used as a spot on Saturday Night Live.
Mrs. Clinton’s health is another question indeed. All in all the handling of her bout with pneumonia has only added clout to the argument that she is hard to trust.
Both candidates are disliked by more than like them and their health is in question for several valid reasons. Makes me wonder what the over and under might be on either of them being able to serve a 4 year term?
Those thoughts shifted my attention to the candidates for Vice President. Me thinks they might be more important than usual?
I’m not suggesting anything, but given the times we live in, the health of these two and the polarization of the opposing factions and I can see a VP becoming president as a fairly high probability.
So, Mike Pence or Tim Kaine?
Pence is 57, an attorney, the 50th Governor of Indiana and a former member of the U. S. House of Representatives.
Kaine is 56, also an attorney and currently serving as a Senator representing Virginia. He was the Governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010 and mayor of Richmond, Virginia for 3 years.
About this I am serious. I’m not voting for Trump and Clinton is fast becoming a non-option, so what do I do?
Not vote? I do not like that idea. I’ve never missed an opportunity to vote.
I may just vote for one of the VP’s. That might be my answer.
