elections 2016

Can you guys prepone* your elections (the USA) and be done with it, please? Pretty please, with a cherry on top?! I am so emotionally exhausted. I can't even shut it out. Campaigning should not be allowed to go on for over a year! Next time, propose that each candidate submit a thesis with some standards. It has to be something that can be published and verified. And even if I went back to where I came from, we wouldn't be able to escape, you know?!

Why do we let this happen?! It's a terrible thing for anyone's mental health!

The last straw, is Rudy Giuliani's rant about Trump being better than Clinton because one is a man and the other a woman. I tried to look at it in context and I am done. I am emotionally done. How do all of you cope?!


* yes yes. I know - not the Queen's English nor American English or any other English. It's Indian English for the opposite of postpone! ;)

I voted! So as far as I am concerned, we can be done with the whole thing now. :)

I would love it to be over, but as long as Trump continues downward it can play a little longer. I don't just want her to beat him, but to annihilate him!

I am just afraid that Trump and his surrogates can completely spin on it. He's smart, you know - as he claims! :X

It is mad isn't it. UK elections take place within a very defined 6 week period. Which is much more sensible than the 2 years + that consumes American election cycles.

yes and it completely overtakes local city, state, court races...

Amen!! I'm just trying to hold onto my sanity for a few more weeks.
This is painful!
