My real concern in all this is the amount of money that is spent every four years to elect a President - I think I heard that it is going to be close to $10Billion. With that money we could wipe out hunger and poverty worldwide, it would go a very long way to defeating Isis and probably Terrorism in general which would be money well spent, a lot better spent than on an election every four years. But, that's just my foolish thinking

Have to add that it has been pleasant to have an almost normal discussion without it turning inflammatory.

I agree. And everytime I see an ad (and change channels) I think of the enormous amount of money that could be put to good use.
