    I think CNN should change their name to CEN, Cable Election Network. That’s all they cover anymore, nonstop. Is the election really the only news( or nonnews) happening these days?

    I am so fed up with the elections already. The race is like watching the seven dwarfs duke it out with Hansel and Grettle. The theme song this year should be Send In The Clowns, although Trump may have that one exclusively. I remember when candidates cared about what the people cared about. Oh, wait, maybe that was a dream I had. Hard to tell

    I’m so disgusted, I’m really tempted not to vote for the first time.

    It’s a three ring circus!! Not one of them is really concerned with the problems in this country and there are plenty of them. Do I need to make a list?? The candidates need to grow up and get with the program. It’s a really scary out there…..

      They really should put None of the Above on the ballot. Problem is, NotA would always win.

      Have you not been paying attention? Bernie Sanders has been busting his ass trying to show us what can be done about these things….if we’re willing to listen. Nothing will change, however, if we continue to follow the same-ol’, same-ol’ status quo BS. I encourage you to investigate Sen Sanders. He has a Facebook page, even.

    An over-simplified version of campaign reform:
    1) Candidates can only campaign for no more than 6 months prior to election,
    2) Candidates can only spend $_____ depending on the position,
    3) Candidates can only make statements that are verified truthful, with nothing derogatory about opponent.
    I’m sure I can think of reforms needed for media during campaigns as well.

      Amen, Sister!! Although I would amend the 6 months to the European style of 6 weeks!! If you can’t say it in six weeks, you shouldn’t be leading.

    Okay, you guys… I have decided not to be political here. However, I want to point out how hard it is to move to Canada. (This was something an earlier poster said.) Unless you are a valid refugee, you need to speak French i addition to English, and you need to have a million bucks in the bank. This is true. I looked it up. Canada beckons, but most of us cannot go there. And, the Canadians have their own right wing/left wing split. They are just more polite about it.

    Campaigning costs too much and lasts too long. They don’t work enough when they do get elected; they’re busy campaigning for the next time! And they all lie.

    It is critical, in this election cycle. With the mainstream media’s ignoring Sen. Sanders’ campaign and ideas until very recently, the word needs to get out, the sooner, the better.
