Election 2016

Wow!   That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of this election.  Wow!!!
It seems like a bad joke, or maybe just a very bad dream.  I can't believe that someone like Trump could make it this far into the election process.   Who knows, perhaps I will wake up one day and realize that this was just a bad dream, and that people do have the common sense to not want someone like that to lead us.


The more I watch this man on television the more hopeless I get.   This is the exact type of person I teach my kids to stay away from.  His actions are the exact type of behavior that I teach my kids not to do.  He is who I will teach my baby boy not to be, and he is who I will teach my pre-teen girls to stay away from.   He is everything that I don't want my kids to be.....   And  how can I explain to them that he may be the next president of the United States.  


I used to believe that being the president was the most prestigious, most influential, and  most important position someone could ever attain.  And that scares me!   How can we have someone in the oval office like him???     He is disrespectful, he bullies his way around the world, he is immature, he is rude, he is arrogant, he is inexperienced, and he believes he is better than everyone.

This man does not inspire others to be tolerant of diversity, even though we live in a world that is filled with different races. How can you relate to others, how can you make allies with others, and how can you bring people together, when your morals and values are so corrupted by money and the need for power?


What upsets me the most is that people are okay with having a "bully" for president.   The contradiction is painful!   We teach kids to not be bullies, but our future president could be the biggest bully we have ever been explicitly exposed to.   Instead of reprimanding him, some are applauding his immature behavior.    What happened to simple human decency ?????
