[Magdalen] On and On it Goes.

[Sally Davies]

Not sure that everyone would agree with that David.

The Donald looks, talks and acts like a caricature of the cheap, phony,
fast-buck salesman with his foot in the door, and yet so many people still
like him and vote for him anyway.

Hillary (to me) looks Presidential and I believe she would make a good
President for all sorts of reasons, but her carelessness might have put
Service lives at risk and that's a serious problem, isn't it?

What an abysmal choice - one candidate who's already failed to handle top
secret material correctly, and another one whom no sane person should want
anywhere near the "nuclear codes". Though I suppose one can at least argue
that Hillary has (or should have) learned from her mistakes, whereas we
probably can't imagine what kind of mistakes Trump would make if he were
given any real power.

For people outside the USA, like me, the absolute puzzle is why, out of
hundreds of millions of people many of whom are fantastic leaders, thinkers
and fighters for justice, HOW does "the system" end up with these two very
flawed individuals?

I'm thinking the same thing about the UK, watching that "snake in the
grass" Michael Gove on TV and thinking - really - is THIS the best we can
do? A pox on the lot of them...

Not that I mean to compare Clinton and Trump as moral or intellectual
equals because they absolutely are not. But still. If only Obama could stay
on for another term!!

Sadly shaking head
