..the Jerry Springer era of American politics—it reveals the lack of character in everyone involved IMO...

I’m totally turned off by the federal government’s inability to manage the nation’s finances, debts that are inconceivable, an open doors border, widespread corruption (viz, Clinton fund raising through “charities”), spineless Republicans caving to a ultra-radical Marxist agenda everywhere you turn, and the amassing of unlimited and unbridled power. This causes the best and most capable people to flee from government service giving us this terrible crop of candidates. Who would be excited about voting for people who are going to accelerate our demise?

Where are the statesmen who ran the nation in the early years through the 1980s? It is no surprise there are none left. What person of a modicum of integrity would seek federal office.

The problem is much deeper than the author explores. He’s just touching on the surface gloss.

Well that is because so many democrats are voting for trump in the primaries, but will vote for Hillary in the general election and will vote to make sure the rats have control of Congress.

They are so easy to figure out.

Considering Star Parker, Town Hall and the rest of the “Conservative” media have done nothing but run a campaign of rabid personal attacks against Trump since Sept 2015, they can look in the mirror to find the sources of this current gutter scumbag style poltical campaign.

People were warned. Stick to making the campaign about your candidate, not trash talking the others but NO “Conservative Media” thought they were oh so clever playing the 1990s style “politics of personal destruction” game.

Well congrats morons, you have now destroyed both the remaining GOP candidates

I see no real reason to vote in this election. My high hopes for a Christian, Adult type of leadership has gone down the drain. It seems Ted is another man who can’t keep his pants zipped and Trump is really a democrat. Who’s left but Romney! Yuk.

More bs from the DC pundiots, who hate Trump 24/7!

Other voters may be turned off, but we will vote in mass to defeat Clintoon/Bernie/Biden/?!!

Yup. If anyone wants to president on 2016 there has to be something way off, in my opinion.

Well, if “right-thinking” Americans choose to be such passive fools and not vote and allow the democrats to take control (as opposed to the Republican Party, who allows democrats to take control), then no one can complain.

LOL, right and the evidence for this is....?

And the reason these Dem voters are voting for Trump at the same time the entire Democrat Establishment (including the media) if spending BILLIONS to destroy him is....?

I feel like I'm watching an endless Jerry Springer show.

...all that's missing is the food-fight.

I'm sure it's coming soon.

..living in CA, it wouldn't matter who I voted for anyway. The last two Republicans lost by over 20 points.

At their absolute best, Trump or Cruz would lose by double digits IMO...
