This election is going to suck: Why Hillary vs. Trump will be vicious, infuriating & bad for America

This is really happening, people. Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is going to be the next president of the United States.

Just saying it still feels strange, but then again, pretty much everything about this most shocking and chaotic of election seasons has been deeply surreal.

Okay then hot shot, who do you want to be the world leader?

The current Secretary General?

Putin?

China’s leader?

Some Islamic figure?

You folks and your seemingly brilliant comments fail in the face of reality.

Someone will be the leader.

I submit, our way of life buttresses better global policy than anyone else is hawking.

We either remain engaged or suffer from the effects of the adoption of the policies of a very negative world figure.

Reagan was a world leader. Trump will be also.

We sure better hope so...

Then you have Freddie Mac posting a $350M quarterly loss and Fannie Ma doing worse. 8 years since their last meltdown.

Yeah it is going to be just awful.

It’s not like all FREEPERS haven’t waited their whole lives for someone to call the Clintons on all their crap.

Oh, wait. I mean it is going to be WONDERFUL.

The WEIRDEST part is reading so many salon articles, the fact that CNN ratings are up and Fox is down, that Rush and Levin are now viewed as slime.

Didn’t take all but about a year? Who’s winning this?

As an example, it is said our policies in the Middle East were necessary because they kept the USSR/Russia out of a position of influence for the past 50 years.

If what we have and have had coming from the Middle East is an example of a foreign policy success, I'm ready for someone else to take the lead.

Lead by example, not meddling.

Nobody said we should advocate bad policy.

We must still remain the leader of the world community.

A nasty election will hurt Hillary more than Trump - when she gets nasty people will turn off to her immediately. He’ll bait her like he did Cruz and she’ll go bombastic and probably have a breakdown. For her own health, she should suspend her campaign.

We’ve got the next six months to witness an epic beatdown of Hillary Clinton. People have been waiting for that for a generation.

Because they realize that Trump will properly vet Hillary and Trump has already been thoroughly vetted.

Every time Hillary takes a shot at Trump, she will damage herself far worse...

She can comment on his business record... ooops... Whitewater...

His choice of women... Ooops... don't go there...

He is successful in the private sector, she is a failure. She has lived her entire life off the government teat.

Clinton slams Trump.
LOL
Can't wait for the counterpunch.

She is going to get the schlonging of her life!
