THE BEST WE CAN DO? REALLY?

The presidential debates are in full swing, and the subjects candidates are talking about? Well, the size of one candidate’s male appendage, which candidate is lying, pants wetting, sweating, comb overs, and a candidate’s orange skin.

While the candidates degrade themselves and insult the electorate here is what is happening: Vox Politics & Policy reported guns killed 147 Americans in the first four days of 2016. According to Mass Shooting Tracker, the rampage in Kalamazoo, Michigan on February 20^th was the 24^th mass shooting in the U.S. in February and the 42^nd mass shooting in the U.S. since the beginning of the 2016.

There are the problems of ISIL, low wages in our country, strains in relations between Washington and Moscow, and this country’s horrific trade imbalances.

We are a nation of over 300 million people and these are the best people we can get to run for President?
