We all have different ideas about what constitutes great political decisions/achievements historically, and, although I don’t want to argue those points, suffice it to say that, a thinking person realizes there have been pros and cons to each and every one of them. Then, of course, some would say the pros outweigh the cons, but, that again, would also be a matter of opinion.
That said, even though neither I, my family, anyone we know, nor, I’m guessing, most Piggs, will be noticeably affected by whomever is elected President (until now, we’ve always voted for the candidate we felt represented the lesser of the evils) and really never have been, it is still difficult to watch the diabolical manipulation of voters being exhibited by the candidates on both sides. (Frankly, they all look and sound insane to me every time they speak.)
Politicians know there are more desperate voters due to uncertainty about the future (even some among the top 20% for various reasons) than ever before in history, and they have struck political gold by exploiting and playing upon the various fears of their individual base. Great for them–sad for voters–who actually believe their promises will change their lives.
However it all turns out, it will be fun, and very interesting to fact check the, for lack of a better word–winner–when their reign begins.
