What's Even Worse...
...is how the campaign contributions, both to the super pacs as well as to the candidate's campaign funds themselves will be used.
It's abundantly clear that the political advisors to both presidential candidates have told them that negative advertising is where most of the money should be spent...because negative advertising works! The public is far more easily influenced by negative advertising than any intelligent discussion and debate of the issues facing the county.
The result is very likely to be that both candidates will badly injure each other during the pre-election campaigning. One will be elected, of course. But by the time the votes are counted and an inauguration held, our elected president may already be so hated and distrusted by a significant proportion of the electorate to render his ability to lead both the government and the people quite ineffective. All as the result of personal attacks in negative advertising and campaigning.
What a way to run a country.
