The Democrats would hand us over to a woman who, while in office, mishandled classified information and lied about it publicly. The Republicans would hand us over to a man who has swindled old people and single mothers out of money, rigged a system to ensure he got rich while others lost their shirts in bankruptcy, bragged about his affairs, and dog-whistled to racists and white supremacists.
No one in either party is willing to stand up and lead. Our leaders are children. None are willing to declare this madness on the part of both parties and demand a change.
Both parties have allegiances now to themselves and not to country. No right thinking person can look at Hillary Clinton and think her handling of classified information and lies about it to the public qualifies her for the office of the president of the United States. No right thinking person can look at Donald Trump and think this is a man we should put in the White House.
But patriotism has given way to team sport. Both parties declare others patriots by supporting their party, not their country. The Founders would be horrified and we should all be ashamed.
