A trying season
One thing for sure is that the primary season is way too long. The media circus is exhausting and ridiculous, and some of the candidates have sunk to new lows.
On the Democratic side: Hilary Clinton, as a former senator and secretary of state ,is very capable in domestic and foreign policy, but she is dogged by scandal both real and imagined; Bernie Sanders’ message resonates with voters who have seen their political and purchasing power diminished. He is also a seasoned senator.
On the Republican side we have seen the rise of Donald Trump, a bully who has tapped into the anger and frustration of the average citizen. He has made lofty promises with no plan or policy, and insulted everyone in sight. How this vulgar thrice-married casino owner is appealing to evangelicals boggles the mind.
