While I would welcome Trump choose a gov't outsider, in the end it really doesn't matter who is second on the ticket...
This election will completely focus on Trump vs Clinton....
Somehow, probably planned and implemented years ago, the folks in the US have only tuned in to the elections every 4 years...
We as citizens, have a much higher responsibility every year to cast votes, be it a county board of supervisors, to who will represent us in our state
legislature... these happen much more frequent than the media promoted celebration/ ratings grab that is the contest for the highest office in the
land...
If you have an issue with the state of the nation, I urge everyone to participate in every election.... not just the farce that is the 4 year cycle
of electing the President..
You want change? Focus on your local elections... and by all means vote in those...
The National election media circus seems to have shifted focus on our own communities... If you kick back for a moment, you just might see that
ignoring the opportunity to change your neighborhood by electing game changers, you are only prolonging the change you seek locally...
We should all have pause that our choice for the highest office of the land, is a rich TV show celebrity vs a life long member of the establishment
who could give two shytes for folks of any color who lie beneath her....
I don't know about you, but after my 50+ years on this planet, I am disappointed that in a nation that I have fought and served for, cannot spend
the effort to reject what our Republican & Democrat servants have done with their voter given privilege to serve the nation..
They seem to revel in having those on either side, hate... yet do nothing to end the divide...
Younger folks, with limited experience are quick to jump on the side that appeals to them, creating another generation where the D-R divide rolls
along.....
Strip away party affiliation, strip away the corners the partys want to draw us in... ask yourself... is this productive?
I think not, but hey, I am just another citizen who's past the mid century mark on earth... been there done that...
I would hate to see my childrens' generation fall prey to what I have already experienced...
THe folks have lost too much, paid TOO much...
It's time that the folks change what has been the norm in DC.... to do that, we need to vote every chance we get... local, county, state.. and yes
nationally.... I can't emphasize enough how important your local elections are... If you want to change DC.... start with your community...
It's up to us... YOu know damn well the establishment won't give 2 shytes if you stay home until their 4 year production is unveiled that is what
they are counting on...
