The ability to throw out one liners and "home run shots" does not qualify one to be president

[Stinky The Clown]

That display last night, and today's follow-on, were and are grotesque. And I'm not saying that about any of the candidates. We can talk about them some other time. This is about our less than worthless media.

The worthless moderators last night were more interested in fomenting conflict between the candidates than exploring issues and positions. And today the worthless media interviewing stupid "man on the street" people about who got the better insults and zingers in.

Sharks are being jumped en mass this cycle.

Picking our president should be DIGNIFIED, fer krissakes.

Who is served by the contemporary process? I don't care in you're a Democrat, a Republican, a Socialist, Libertarian, conservative, Tea Partier, or independent, this is NOT helping you get good governance. (I think we all know who is served by this, though.)

Trump is stealing all the oxygen, yet his ideas are just plain impossible to implement. Yet that is exactly what the media blathers on about.

This process is making the country more ready to accept world class stupid than it already is.

The single word that kept going through my mind while watching that spectacle last night was GROTESQUE.

I really can't think of a more apt descriptor.

1. It's a total farce. The media has made a mockery

of the process. Trump is a clown and I count down the days until he's out of the race.

2. Unfortunately, the vast majority of voters

are low information voters, and they'll pay more attention to the one liners than any policy positions. They'll get almost everything they think they know about candidates and issues from the ads that will be dominating the airwaves for months.
