And the problem left to the reasonable, mature electorate is two candidates with higher unpopular ratings than popular ratings. This amounts to a campaign of the lesser of two evils. And, worse, a campaign not of ideas, not of inspiration, not of aspiration, but a dismal campaign of 'the other guy's worse'.
To the dismay of reasonable, mature voters, some campaigns are reveling in the slop of 'her husband is a rapist' and 'he's unqualified to be president, where are his tax returns'. What a dismal, discouraging campaign season this is. The only folks happy are the knuckle draggers who think smear, accusations and innuendo are altogether fitting and proper for an American presidential campaign.
