Our Presidential campaign in the US needs to be "over" --- and quickly. It is assuredly "sinking" our hope, our economic plans, our national vitality, and our image/substance in the eyes of the rest of the world.
Donald is an embarrassment -- a foil to Putin's comments of "he's a genius" (huh?) and his own arrogant know-nothing but say anything style. Donal is dangerous -- he may indeed be a psychopath, but certainly he is a self-consumed narcissist. Ms. Clinton is a much better choice -- but she has fallen into the "trade barbs with the bully" mentality that characterized the primary season.
In so doing, she has unfortunately shown herself to be a "bad candidate" and a "poor campaigner." The way to beat a coarse bully is not to out-bully him, but rather to ignore him. She should not be characterizing Donald's supporters as anything but Americans -- perhaps who have lost their way -- but Americans nonetheless. The 911 heroes did not run the the burning trade towers just to save the people who believed as they did -- they tried to save everyone. That should be the attitude of every loyal candidate -- and every loyal American.
