This election is one for the history books. It will be in every political science textbook.

I am a political junkie like most of us on this site. Has anyone ever seen such an election? I can't wait to get up each morning to read what has Trump done today. I am a writer and could not in my wildest dreams come up with such a plot and make it sound believable.

I can't wait to hear the various authors talk about the inept socially awkward
guy with no background in politics thought he would run for president of the
USA just because he had nothing better to do with his time.

that at least some of whom I talk with regarding this election are inclined to tune it out. I am something of a political junkie myself and frankly my interest level is low. I don't care what the latest Trump statement or mis statement happens to be, if i see his face on my FB feed or on the TV it is immediately deleted or the channel changed. I don't really care what HRC has to say as I really never did care what HRC had to say. The election will come and it will go, what happens, will happen and life will go on.

you never allow 17 primary candidates in the first place and they paid the price. Had they start with 3 or 4, trump wouldn't be here today

but yes, this election will be one for the history books as the delusions of one side is so YUGE, its becoming a mockery of America
