..the Jerry Springer era of American politics—it reveals the lack of character in everyone involved IMO...
I will vote enthusiastically against Hitlery.
I’m totally turned off by the federal government’s inability to manage the nation’s finances, debts that are inconceivable, an open doors border, widespread corruption (viz, Clinton fund raising through “charities”), spineless Republicans caving to a ultra-radical Marxist agenda everywhere you turn, and the amassing of unlimited and unbridled power. This causes the best and most capable people to flee from government service giving us this terrible crop of candidates. Who would be excited about voting for people who are going to accelerate our demise?
Where are the statesmen who ran the nation in the early years through the 1980s? It is no surprise there are none left. What person of a modicum of integrity would seek federal office.
The problem is much deeper than the author explores. He’s just touching on the surface gloss.
What about all the record-breaking voter turnouts?
Almost every state has had record turnout and but voters don’t care?
Considering Star Parker, Town Hall and the rest of the “Conservative” media have done nothing but run a campaign of rabid personal attacks against Trump since Sept 2015, they can look in the mirror to find the sources of this current gutter scumbag style poltical campaign.
People were warned. Stick to making the campaign about your candidate, not trash talking the others but NO “Conservative Media” thought they were oh so clever playing the 1990s style “politics of personal destruction” game.
Well congrats morons, you have now destroyed both the remaining GOP candidates
Voter enthusiasm among Republicans at RECORD LEVEL while that of dems is in the toiler.

Sure and that's why Rep voting is setting historic records....right? Additional polling data from Gallup points to the extent to which voters, particularly Republicans, are being turned off.
Nothing in this Gallup study to prove anything at all
In the first three months of 2016, the percentage of Americans saying they feel "the election process is working as it should" dropped from 37 percent to 30 percent. However, the percentage of Republicans and those "leaning" Republican saying the process is working "as it should" dropped from 46 percent to 30 percent.
Meaningless since I say the reason people (Republicans) say it is not working as it should is simply because the RNC is working against it's own candidate
” voters being turned off to the whole process”
Blah, blah, blah. And they don’t like “negative” ads, but boy do they work.
The culture has degraded such that seeking and/or holding office, especially national-level office, is, in and of itself, proof that a given person is psychologically and morally unfit to hold public office.
