Do you realize that if Hillary is elected Bill becomes First Gentleman? Would that be more Kafkaesque or more Orwellian? Or would it be just dumb? George W. Bush got elected because he was perceived as the moral alternative to the wide-ranging, largely illegal antics of Team HillBilly's presidency. Bush is moral? Yeah, right! Bush is seriously dumb and not a moral leader. Also the candidates that are now presented by both republicans and democrats all seem to be raised in the same lobby-fed kennel. Yes lobbies play a big part in distorting American politics but I think the problem goes a bit deeper.
Where's the critical thinking ability of America? Has our quest for "equality" in policies made illegal the self evident fact that "we are known by our differences"? Have non-discrimination laws outlawed or impaired critical thinking? Our civil rights laws resemble an instruction manual that is sent with appliances. Where's the space for subtly and nuanced thinking ? The original reason for civil rights laws was justified but the writing and implementation of those laws have brought unintended consequences. Laws that don't allow for physical facts or personal expression will fail to the degree of that omission.
