2016 US Presidential Race

From a socialist to a so called "nut job", the 2016 Presidential race is turning out to be one of the most energetic, mean spirited, and often nasty campaigns in recent history. You need to have a thick skin because politics is not a walk in the park. We only see 1% of what really happens behind closed doors and back hallway dealings. So just imagine.

It's curious to see how politics have become more entertaining than entertainment itself, some calling it reality TV. Well, with one candidate being a reality TV star, the thought is not far-fetched. In fact, even the cable news channels have become complete entertainment. And sometimes slapstick comedy.

Adding to the fray is the often misguided "black lives matter" movement, alone contributing heavily to increased racism and the thought of reverse-racism. Lack of respect for law enforcement, the fight against ISIS, and immigration all contribute equally to the dismay in the American fabric.

The question being asked is: "is Obama to blame?" "And is the quasi-conservative front runner any better." Either way, the race for the White House has been both entertaining and comically tragic.
