Political rhetoric (like music) knows no borders. Listening to Republican Presidential aspirants, is like being at an AKP political convention in Ankara. Both parties are out of touch with reality, yet conjure up enough fear to make inroads into the hearts and minds of the (great) unwashed. On current levels, not one contender could even run for the secularist Turkish Opposition (CHP), as they would be deemed too xenophobic (or a redneck for American readers).
As for the Democrats, they can hang their heads in shame, they would be hard pressed to gain entry into the right-wing parties of Ireland, New Zealand and the UK (so 'conservative' that they legalized gay marriage). What happened to upholding real humanistic ideals, not enough just to lecture the world that the U.S. is a beacon of enlightenment, when not replicating those values at home.
It's high-time the two-party dictatorship is dismembered, no more politics that is 'lower than a snakes belly'. The following are one word descriptions of each candidate (life is too short to type more words about these robotic creatures): Bush (bewildered), Carson (irrational), Chrisite (enraged), Clinton (shady), Cruz (creepy), Fiorina (bitter), Huckabee (crass), Kasich (static), O'Malley (vague), Paul (aloof), Rubio (deceitful), Sanders (Scandinavian), Trump (Neanderthal).
If this is the best field of applicants a country (of some one-third of a billion) can conjure up, then it's time to wave a white flag and surrender to mediocrity. Maybe one day we will be shocked by the grace and benevolence of a prospective President - you just never know your luck in a big country! Meanwhile, every time you hear/read jingoistic drivel coming from partisan mouthpieces, I suggest you make a donation to your local charity. (Double the amount, when you come across prejudiced comments masquerading as facts). Otherwise, please exercise caution when encountering false political prophet's claiming to be for the people, when actually they are boosting their inflated ego's with falsehoods.
