We are in a real pickle, Friends. Neither of the two presumptive major-party nominees should ever be allowed to get anywhere near the Oval Office.
Donald Trump is flat-out frightening. The way he eviscerates anyone who doesn't agree with him is a quality not suited for American politics. Our democracy is built on compromise, but Trump doesn't even know the meaning of the word.
What's worse is that he has absolutely no experience in government or diplomacy, and it's a complete fantasy to believe that this benefits him.
Hillary is exactly what Nubbs calls her. She lies to us unflinchingly and says things that are so insulting to our intelligence, I can't imagine what she really thinks about the American electorate.
There is no doubt that her email problems are much bigger than she's admitting, and the list of her other dubious activities is nearly as long as her achievements.

No one can name one accomplishment of Hillary's during her tenure as Secretary of State, but most people can cite at least one of her debacles. The fallout from her Libya and Middle East policies is still raining down on us.
Domestically, no matter what she says, Hillary is beholden to the big banks and Wall Street. She claims she's never changed a policy or vote because of her indebtedness.
Really? Why then, as a U.S. Senator, did she support the devastating Bush bankruptcy 'reform' bill pushed by the big banks, and which fell squarely on a middle class already reeling from the recession?
Multiple reports came out last week implying Hillary is also in bed with Big Pharma. That industry has contributed $589,344 to her 2016 campaign so far.
And because they're completely against it since it undermines them financially, Hillary quietly opposes marijuana reform. No wonder young voters aren't catching her vibe.
So where does that leave us? In a bit of a lurch, I'd say.
On the GOP side, short of not being physically able to continue, Nubbs will certainly be the nominee.
The Democratic situation is not as certain, and we can pray for either Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden to be eventually chosen by the party instead of Mrs. Clinton.
Perhaps by their Philadelphia convention at the end of July, Hillary will be under federal indictment-- forcing her out of the race.
Stranger things have already happened in this campaign, though currently, barring a minor miracle, it looks a lot like we're going to get Hillary.
So, we are truly facing a dilemma with no viable candidate to choose.
Fortunately, there is a serious option. Libertarians Gary Johnson and Bill Weld (both successful former governors and Weld also a former ambassador) are the most formidable third-party ticket ever fielded and could actually be a factor in this election.
It's guaranteed we'll be seeing a lot more of them.
