Am I right? It would be newsworthy if she weren't beating him by a boatload.
I guess you have to take your reassurance anywhere you find it.

This is just sad:
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016...-trump-n578926
Most folks are voting against the other candidate and not because they feel the candidate is qualified. This is the American two party system where candidates are foisted upon the public and the public is too daft to demand better.
This country would be better served by a monarchy or dictatorship. (we already have party dictatorships so it's only one small step further)

Putting a finer point on it:
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...dislike-223504
Poll: 6 in 10 dislike or hate Trump and Clinton
The two candidates likely to square off in November's general election are both disliked or even hated by roughly six in 10 Americans, according to the results of the latest weekly NBC News/SurveyMonkey tracking poll out Tuesday.
Asked their feelings about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, just 17 percent said they admired the former secretary of state, while 10 percent said the same of the reality TV star-turned-presumptive Republican nominee. About one in four said they like Clinton or Trump but do not admire them. Another 37 percent and 39 percent said they dislike but do not hate Clinton and Trump, respectively, while 21 percent said they hate Clinton and 24 percent said they hate Trump.

Is one candidate worse" than the other? Sure, depending on who you are.......but neither candidate is palatable to most Americans. This election is wrong on so many levels. We're going to elect a president with a small percentage of voters, elect a president NOBODY wants. I find it astounding that out of 315 million americans, this is the best we can do. This is the complete and total failure of the american political system.
I would be happy with a 2% voter turnout.
