Lost America

I an so ashamed of the Republican party and all the bickering and in-fighting surrounding this year's campaign. At no other time in my life have I seen such divisiveness and lack of cohesion as this year. Add to that those who are making every effort to assure that Donald Trump is not the candidate, and it makes me sick.

Americans have voted for Trump, regardless of how any splinter group feels. The people have spoken and I'm not debating whether they are right or wrong, but they have voted him as their specific candidate. And yet some group of idiots wants to take those votes and nullify them through some process that seems to even have the go ahead bu the Supreme Court.

It proves that your vote does not matter in America. No matter all the rhetoric about getting out and vote, if a small group of political buffoons can alter the course of an election by not allowing the American People their say, it proves the corrupt system under which we live.

In my opinion, the Republicans are simply handing over any semblance of a shot at the presidency to the Democrats. It is a sick, demented way of politics in this country and those who think that it is okay don't deserve to live here. I am not taking sides with either party but what is fair is fair and unfortunately, our system has become so corrupt that there is no longer a line between right and wrong.

The Republicans never did get their act together since the beginning of this campaign. Paul Ryan has been bad mouthing trump as bad as the Democrats. Hell, why even run anti-Trump ads when the Republicans will destroy his chances of election all by themselves.  And destroy all the votes cast for the candidate, regardless of who thinks it's right or wrong.

In my opinion, the idiocy of the Republican Party will assure a Clinton victory. A sad statement about American politics.
