[quote=flyer]The politics of this election are really sad to watch, with so many voters desperately seeking a candidate whom they believe can actually save their lives.
I think they forget (or maybe don’t know) that we have three branches of government, and by virtue of that fact, many of the promises made will simply disappear like vapor when subjected to the legislative process.
I wouldn’t bet my future or my family’s future on any political candidate, but it will be interesting to see what any of them can actually deliver after the election.[/quote]I don’t think people are expecting an incoming President to “save their lives,” flyer. I think the American electorate will vote for one of the “lesser of two evils.” You must admit that, at the end of the day, we’re not going to have much choice in the matter by November.
I read an article online this morning that predicted the general election this year will be decided mainly through “negative partisanship” votes. That is, voters will vote for the candidate which will keep their lesser-desired candidate from obtaining the office. And the percentage of voters which they predicted would vote this way was about evenly spread between the two “presumptive nominees,” that is 46% to Trump and 47% to Clinton, IIRC.
