The State of the Union

I haven't jumped into politics recently and probably shouldn't now. I think the reason is this. 

Somehow I feel the need to comment on the Republican presidential nominee. I know he isn't yet but barring his death or incapacity to proceed, he will be. The honest truth for me is that he is not the problem. He is the symptom. The millions of people who marked a ballot or used a voting machine or participated in a caucus who felt he was the best choice are the problem. When you can't tell someone who "tells it like it is" from someone who "tells you shit you want to hear" then you are the problem. Organizations who have fact checked the things he says claim that 90% or more of what he says is not true. I understand that all politicians lie but this is off the charts falsehoods. 
It's a bit harsh but true. 
True, even if you don't like it. 
If you still wonder about this clown look at his history of failed businesses. Look at the comments he has made about minorities and women. Look at his tax plan. His claims for the military. How he talks about other religious groups. His encouragement of violence at his rallies. 

So, if that's who the American people vote in as President, we will have successfully isolated ourselves from the rest of the world. An ill tempered asshole will have his finger on the nuclear launch button. Think about that when you vote in November.
