I can't believe that these are the best two people that the US can produce right now.
I can. Empire is in decline thanks to its incessant fixation on the Offense industry and refusal to tend to infrastructure, education, or social works, now mix in the steady erosion of critical thinking and literacy skill in this country, coupled with the crippling of any kind of recognizable civics curriculum to allow for principle-less, tribalist "vote my color no matter who no matter the policy platform" philosophies to grip the populace by the throat.
That's exactly how we get here.
