You guys can blame Move-on, Democrats, Socialists, Progressives, whatever.. Surely these are the only misbehaving actors out there.
Tread carefully: Trump isn't that far from being the "chosen one" by the party of the conservative right. I hardly think that behaving badly is the fault of the other political side... Trump encourages the drama because he knows it gets coverage and gets ratings. He's not going to disavow the KKK, but he's not going to confirm them either - just to stir the pot, bring up the passions, and get himself more free media.
The dwindling pool of candidates, regardless of your political affiliation, certainly looks really bad to me... We've got:
1) A self-appointed Socialist.
2) A Washington elite who has either openly lied to the American people or is completely incompetent, take your pick, maybe both.
3) We've got a conservative Christian who has historically donated .86% of his income to charity and a member of the political elite.
4) And we've a billionaire who has driven his own companies to bankruptcy more times that you and I would in 5 lifetimes who has almost zero real plans to accomplish the things that he's promising.
I don't ever remember such a bad set of choices.
