It is upon us! We are not worthy! Hilary Clinton, whose moral scruples are somehow less then her popularity, which is as low as it can get in the modern era, versus Donald Trump, as nasty a piece of work as has been seen in some time in US politics. It'll be bare knuckle brawling from here on out, and I get the feeling the Drumpf will have the advantage in a pure mud slinging dirty campaign. Then again, I could be wrong. But I'm not wrong when I predict this will be a low voter turnout. At this point, who cares who wins? Hilary Clinton is More of the Same! Whereas Trump is Power to the One Percent!

What's changed that he should challenge again? And the old guard Republicans are hoping he'll split the vote with Tr...
