My fear is if it can be worse. I said similar in several recent elections …… but now looking back the bushes were such mild cases of worse for the country, barely a preview of what we have now. Bush was bad for the country but intelligent, poised, and well versed in at least foreign affairs. Bush junior was a bumbling fool but where we lost respect of the international community but at least did limited harm. McCain may have been a hero but had poor ideas for governing and I wouldn’t trust palin to run a stop sign. Pence had well deserved criticism. Then we got Trump. This time “evil” seems well deserved for the first time ever.

Although I have to admit Romney was an interesting possibility. It’s easy to dismiss him as a vulture capitalist but I thought he did well as governor of Massachusetts, he did sign healthcare reform at the state level, and when he talks family values and morality he is one of the few republicans who mean it

This has been a very depressing trend: is it possible to keep getting worse?
