Battle of the Boroughs

There are 329 million people in the United States of America. They are spread across 3.8 million square miles. The presidential race will be determined by the actions of three of them: Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Michael Bloomberg. Each is a New Yorker. Each hails from a different borough. Trump was born in Queens, Sanders in Brooklyn, and Bloomberg, a native of Massachusetts, has worked and lived in Manhattan since 1973.

For a long time New York City politics stopped at the Hudson River. Now the nation faces the prospect of eight months of septuagenarian New Yorkers yelling at each other. The geographic, regional, ethnic, and racial diversity of America is nowhere visible. Religion is an exception: The first Jewish presidential nominee of a major party will also be, in all likelihood, the most hostile nominee toward Israel ever.

How did this happen?

“Now the nation faces the prospect of eight months of septuagenarian New Yorkers yelling at each other.

How did this happen.”

It could be much worse. Imagine having to listen to a screeching Native Indian wannabe liar or a public spit swapping faggot preaching to us day in and day out?

Will Bernie be the first presidential nominee of a major party to routinely wear glasses?

Another bit of trivia is that no president has had facial hair since about a decade after the introduction of the safety razor with disposable blades in 1903. Thomas Dewey sported a mustache but didn’t get elected.

Also, the last president to wear a hat like a fedora with any frequency was JFK.

You’re right! I forgot about Truman. Nonetheless that’s 68 years. I think I read somewhere that since televisión came in, at least after TV debates started, candidates have avoided appearing with glasses.
