COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
To paraphrase Churchill on democracy: she is the worst of
all possible candidates except for all the others.
American elections are hopeless.
Giant marketing campaigns with billions spent to do nothing useful.
All they do is pick between two candidates, both vetted and
certified safe for the establishment.
The winner then gets to take his/her orders from the
Pentagon and 17 security agencies for the next 4 years.
It truly is as meaningless as that.
The Republicans are at least a bit of fun to watch for once.
Jeb reaches new depths of shallowness and ineffectualness.
The brain surgeon keeps saying things that make you think he
removed his own brain in medical school.
And Trump is Krakatoa east of Java.

noting Trump isn’t vetted for the establishment:
He isn't the candidate yet, is he?
Just as all stops were pulled out behind the scenes a few
years back to stop Ron Paul, I'm sure plans are being hatched to train-wreck
Trump.

Response to a reader
noting Hillary is such a liar:
Being a good liar is an important attribute of any American
President today.
Her husband lied 24 hours a day, as does Obama.
