For all the talk of what a disaster our political scene is.

And I agree, it is. But on the flip side, most likely, we are about to elect Hillary Clinton as our president. And for the last 8 years we've had Barack Obama.

Both of them are simply incredible people. Smart, good people, progressive, tough, knowledgable, ethical, caring. Even if I could hand-pick the president, I'd be hard-pressed to find two people I'd rather see there than Clinton and Obama.

And we hear so much about it because it's just the 'there is no difference between the two parties' meme.

I have no problem with the democratic nominee.

Trump is right about one thing: Hillary has been in the public eye for three decades. In that 30 years she has less scandals than we see from him every week.
