Is Ben Carson a pathological liar? Is Donald Trump a self-aggrandizing sociopath? Is Carly Fiorina frigid? Is Jeb Bush alive? What is John Kasich? Or Marco Rubio?
Why should I care about tabloid political punditry? Perhaps so that I can distinguish it from real issues of character, or real truths about someone's views, or accurate portrayals of the candidate's behavior in the past.
Are political campaigns that hang on for months and months, with debate after debate, still a useful tool for society to judge a candidate for possible selection and election to the highest offices in our government? How else could we do it? Divine right of kings, perhaps? Or, the richest guy (or gal) gets elected! Or the best smile and haircut wins!
There has got to be a better way than this cauldron of information
