I'm disappointed in the choices we as a country have made for this election.

Its odd to me too, Gene. I can't understand how they can say these are two of the most disliked, because if that is so, how did they both get their party's nomination? I am even more concerned that we did have some really good candidates to chose from, at the start but I am interested in what is going on in this country, that would have ever allowed Donald Trump to get the nomination, when there were so many really better choices for the party? He truly wasn't the best in the primaries and it didn't seem that the party was strong enough to promote the other candidates more. I also think that the cable press gave Trump billions in free press. At one point, if I wouldn't have known any better, I would have thought he was the only candidate in the race, on either side. I blame the press for this, alot.

I just remember whenwhe had wonderful historians in our Senate and in the House. In those days, it seems that people knew more and were more intelligent about the workings of the congress and what it meant. Today, I watch some of the congressmen and women on television in interviews, honestly, I have never seen so many really stupid people. They are all about partisan, party power, nothing about the true history or what they are suppose to be doing there.

The Presidential choices are bad enough but the congress!!!! Talk about a good house cleaning!!!! This has got to be the most do nothing congress in the last 25 years. They couldn't even get together to pass a bill to give Flint, Michigan clean water! Those people are suffering up there but they wanted to tack on so much other garbage, they couldn't get the bill passed to help those people. The children don't even have clean water to bath in. They passed a bill to help us in Louisiana but they couldn't pass a bill to help the Zica Virus problem because, again, they tacked on a bunch of planned parenthood garbage and the bill never passed. This is horrible!

I can understand why people want it to change but sometimes the change should start in the congress first. It is corroded with people who don't have a clue what they are doing there.
