This is the eve of one of the most bizarre elections in the history of the United States. Tomorrow we will vote for President of the United States. Admittedly, our school board elections affect our everyday life more, but we place great importance on the Presidential election.
One candidate is automatically the underdog, because she is a woman, and the other candidate comes with so much baggage he requires his own railroad car.
One candidate refuses to release his taxes, admitted he hasn't paid any in 20 years, has openly made fun of handicapped people, has made horrible statements about sexually abusing women, is openly racist, is an Islamaphobe, denies climate change, and has suddenly become pro-life, because he was told to, he's openly swore onstage including dropping the F bomb. And his offering for a First Lady has posed nude for magazines.
This candidate also offered in the late 70's or early 80's that his casino, the Trump Taj Mahal was going to be the greatest thing in casinos ever. Basically he was going to "Make Casinos Great Again." They boarded it up last month.
The other candidate asked for additional security for our embassies ten times and was turned down by the Republican Congress because they didn't want to spend the money. And then when an embassy is attacked and people are killed, it was her fault. She took advice from a very respected former Republican Secretary of State and used her own server from home. Classified documents weren't clearly labeled as such. Some documents weren't classified at the time but became classified much later. And twice now it was proven by the Republican FBI director, who must be very pissed at the three Trump supporter FBI folks who broke FBI protocol and release this last week.
FBI protocol has always been, nothing controversial gets released 60 days before an election. Those are the rules. To his credit the FBI director showed no criminal intent before the election.
In or around 2000 I told my son there were three things I regretted that I would never live to see. They were: A black President, and Woman President, and the Cubs win the World Series. And an mere 16 years later......
Tomorrow night, Bill Clinton becomes the First Gentleman.
