Recently, I listen to an interview with former White House Chief of Staff, Andrew Caro, I heard him say what I have been saying for years. "Democracy is about getting them (voters) to show up". He is saying about elections, that it is more important to get voters to the polls than it is to have a stable idea on policies.
In essence, tell them what they want to hear and they will show up and give you the election.
Geez, I have been saying this for twenty years and no one was listening, until now. There seems to be more and more people realizing that bullsh*t is just that bullsh*t. They seem to be wanting specifics, not idle promises. This is a good thing, IMO, but will it translate into a substantial win for a statesman and not a politician? Sadly, probably not! The election will be business as usual and we will get another politician as usual.
Once again the people will be the big losers in yet another farce they call a presidential campaign. The really sad part of this saga is that the American people make the same mistakes over and over and never learn from them. I use to think the American populace was ignorant, but now I know they are just f*cking STUPID!
