Yes. The popularity of Donald Trump saddens and disturbs me on many levels.
It has not changed my views of America. We can and will still recover from this year of poor candidates in the future.
No, I still think America is great, it is the citizens themselves that make it great, not the government.
The bar was already set quite low, and the primary voting bloc has managed to lower that bar even more.
American "democracy" has been and always will be a dirty game. I am wary of the affect Citizens United will have on the process going forward.
It's sad that populism, racism, and fascism are still going strong.
