What I’m about to say might be seen as victriol, but bare with me.
We have one candidate, Trump, that is in part riding a wave of pop-culture appeal.
That is probably to some extent troubling to most here, as it should be, what does it say for the future.
Some just except it now for what it is. They want the win by hook or by crook.
Where the alternative is Hillary Clinton? Most anyone would take Trump, just not yet for many.
I tend to the eternally optimistic in these latter times.
Pop culture can be based on both wrong and right premises.
Poop culture (what I first typed) is a worse problem; it’s always wrong.
Why is Trump good? Why is Trump bad? And the same should be asked for Cruz and any other hopeful that might come into the picture.
Then we can arrive at the closest thing to fair and balanced that we can embrace. But we ought to try to understand why others might disagree; it could be a point of view on other things that has made the difference.
