Voter fraud in America? This is a dog bites man story if ever I saw one.
Here's my view: this presidential race is the worst in my lifetime, far and away. Both candidates have major, major flaws and their repugnance is reflected in the unhappiness of the American voter. HRC will win the election not on her own political and personal appeal to America, but because Trump is politically and personally toxic.
Don't you find it ironic that Trump (rightfully) slams Clinton as a beholden insider when Trump himself is the ultimate insider in the corrupt American capitalist system: a person born with a platinum spoon who never has had to do a days work in his life, who took full advantage of all the laws the rich elite enacted to protect their own wealth and who has absolutely no idea what life on Main Street is like for most of us? I'm gobsmacked that so many white American men think that Trump is one of theirs.
IMO, looking deeper, both candidates are products of a rotten economic/political system which has neither the will nor the legal wherewithal to fix itself: it's like asking a drunk to mind the bar. I was disappointed that HRC was ushered into the nomination for the democrats and equally disappointed that out of the massive field of republicans, Trump was the best they could muster.
Regardless of the outcome of this election, I fear for the future of the country. We've lost our way and our say. Getting it back will take more than the ballot box.
