Trump vs. Clinton … let the games begin

Tweet

Well, the primaries are just about over and the presumptive winners on both sides have pretty much been determined. Despite the fact that there are still several primaries to be completed, and despite the fact that Bernie Sanders is hanging in to the very end, Clinton and Trump have already moved on to the general election. Firstly, let us identify the opponents – We have “Crooked Hillary” on the left and “Loose Cannon” Trump on the right, although sometimes those lines are blurred. Yup, that’s what they’re calling each other, at least for now. Who knows how many other names they’ll be called before this is all over. Secondly, how the heck did this happen? Clinton and Trump are both drowning in negative likeability polls. No one seems to like them very much but here they are, their respective parties’ top choices (so far). Politics sure makes strange bedfellows, as the saying goes. As interesting as all this is going to be, I’m afraid I’ll be spending the next 6 months screaming at my TV, hating all the hate, hating all the under-the-belt blows and mud-slinging, and spending much of my time wincing and cringing until it finally ends next November.
