Anyone else watching? Each week the show reviews the presidential elections throughout the years. Kennedy vs. Nixon. Lincoln vs. Douglas. Clinton vs. Bush.
What have I learned? Politicians suck. They're all crooked. They all do whatever it takes to win, up to and including illegal activities. It's sickening, yet fascinating to watch.
What we are seeing today is nothing new. The players are new; their tactics are not. It's nothing more outrageous than anything that's been done in the past. Both Republican and Democrat, it doesn't make a difference. Even "Honest Abe" wasn't so honest.

I'm so sick of politics. All they ever do is make promises they can't keep.
I saw a sound bite last night from Carly Fiorina when she was campaigning saying that Ted Cruz will say anything to get elected. She is now is running mate!?! Wow, it's totally stupid.

Her reason - it's like a basketball game. Sometimes the players foul each other. But there isn't any harm meant by it. She has had a chance to get to know him, blah blah blah. Honestly, we think that Trump could potentially tap Rubio as his running mate. That will be interesting if he does. Honestly, we though Kasich at first, but after this asinine partnership with Cruz, I doubt it. |

I just finished watching tonight's episode which was about the end of the Cold War. I actually got goose bumps as I watched the Berlin Wall fall which was juxtaposed with Leonard Bernstein conducting Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Then CNN was back to the this election's clown show. I remember how a lot of people thought that Reagan was a joke when he was running for president. I pray that a true leader will emerge from this craziness.
