That the Democrats have two such seriously flawed candidates in this critically important election is a crime. It’s a sad testiment to our nominating process and the ineptitude of party leadership. A campaign “season” lasting two-and-a-half years serves no one, most of all the American voter. I don’t want to hear about how this is the first time in decades that both the sitting president and vice president aren’t running, making this a unique situation.

There has to be a better — and cheaper — method of involving 50 states (and , don’t forget Guam, Puerto Rico and Americans Abroad!) than this “kumbaya” endless primary charade. Wagging fingers and stamping feet at naughty Michigan and Florida is an embarrassment and reminds one of an earnest mother trying to be friends with her tantrum-throwing twins having a meltdown at the supermarket.

People are tired, angry and dispirited. Whoopie.
