We can all agree that the impending Presidential Election that is upon us is throwing the nation for a curveball each time a candidate opens their mouth, and here's exactly why politics continue to be the bane of all of our existences:
1. There are seventeen republicans running for president. Seventeen. Basically, the majority of Americans won’t bother to remember the names of at least half of them
2. The possibility of Donald Trump becoming the leader of the free world is downright terrifying. “You’re fired” doesn’t exactly work as a Middle East diplomacy tactic. Also, it is doubtful that building a wall between the US and Mexico will miraculously “Make America Great Again.”
3. One of the leading democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton, is in the midst of a highly public and controversial scandal involving her private emails and revealing classified information. That will go over well in the polls: just what America needs – more corruption.
4. Speaking of corruption, Republican candidate and New Jersey Governor Chris Christy is going in to the race with a tainted reputation due to his own corruption scandal “Bridge-gate”. That should give his opponents some good material to work with
5. Republican candidate Carly Fiorina is known for bankrupting Hewlett Packard as it’s former CEO. Maybe she’ll bankrupt America too? Maybe we shouldn’t find out.
6.Ted Cruz’s claim to fame is his congressional filibuster in which he recited “Green Eggs and Ham”. Good to know that our politicians have the reading capabilities of a first grader.
7. Mike Huckabee recently publicly supported the Kentucky clerk Kim Davis for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples in spite of the supreme court ruling. Glad to see America is getting more progressive every day.
8. Republican candidate and neurosurgeon Ben Carson has absolutely no political experience. He must have accidentally submitted a resume for the wrong job posting.
9. Lindsey Graham’s voice could put an insomniac to sleep faster than an ambien.
10. If elected, Vermont senator Bernie Sanders would be the oldest person in American history to become president.
