CURRENT AFFAIRS: Presidential Fallout

It scares me silly that Hillary is still leading in the Democratic polls.  I can only do so much, so I started calming myself down in preparation.  Yes, by avoiding as much interest or involvement, and any and all political discussion, I can somehow make it through four years of anybody as leader of my country.

But there’s this:  For four years, I’ll not be as trusting of people, of their allegiance or intelligence.  I’ll always wonder if they were the ones responsible by their vote.

Of course, I can’t avoid but wonder about that in any election, winner or loser and choice.

  1. Actually she’s not leading in all the polls. Take a look at the DFA Presidential Pulse poll, where Kucinich is in the lead:

    Maybe that’s just a function of who actually goes there and answers their poll, but you have to wonder. I also read (at Huffington Post, I think) that someone was called by a poll-taker and given a list of democratic candidates that didn’t include Kucinich. When he said “Hey, what about Kucinich?” the caller acted as if they didn’t know what he was talking about.

    Well that’s heartening, though it’s a small segment of the population represented. But even that can help, and I would likely support Kucinich as the Democratic candidate.
