The disgust I feel at Trump's campaign is visceral. Every headline makes me want to run for the shower.
It feels as though the whole mess is heading downhill very fast.
That's how I feel, too. I'm in Spain right now, and it is so hard to explain to people how something like Trump ever happened. And btw, they don't like Hillary either.
The only consolation - or maybe truly scary thing - is that this is happening everywhere. The Spanish had a truly nutcase Marxist populist party surge out of nowhere, led by a frothing at the mouth young ignoramus who had even been caught for welfare fraud, which has made it impossible for them to get a majority to govern. The name of his party is Podemos, which means, basically, "Yes, we can." Sound familiar?
They have a parliamentary system, so the governing party has to build coalitions, which is impossible with this guy. This means they may have to have a THIRD general election. Granted the two major parties here have been disappointments, like ours, but even thinking leftist Spaniards are embarrassed by Podemos.
And then to top it off we have the ignorant, low-IQ but viciously ideological Pope, spewing his incoherent ramblings.
Meanwhile, Islam slavers at the gates - it doesn't need to bother, the gates are all a stage set and it can march right in, all because of our feckless "leaders" and the foolish population that follows them.
