I am a liberal, and like more of the “sane” people I know, I am appalled by what the Donald is saying to himself and to us, and yet…..according to reputable polls, Clinton and Trump are literally tied for the presidency. How did this happen? Am I the only one who is growing more concerned by the day that the negative drum beat of conservative media and Congressional Republicans has so poisoned the public that they are unable to see any difference between the two candidates, or seeing Trump as somehow better? I thought the electorate was saner than this — that it was just a matter of time before voters came to their senses, slapped their foreheads and said — “Of course she’s a better choice!” What am I missing here?
