Electing a U.S. president

This is a point that shouldn't have to be written but this election season it seems unsaid. Electing a President isn't like calling or texting in a choice for American Idol or Dancing with the Stars. A candidate should have experience in political office, knows how American democracy works, the rules of diplomacy, world history and culture and have a respect for all Americans while working patiently with others for better lives for all.
This election season is looney because of Trump and the number of Republicans( and why are they all running?)
I think things will sort themselves out but shake my head at an electorate wanting the person who says the simple things; racist, divisive, anti-American etc.

Few Cosby posts on DU

Unbelievable. The revealed facts from hard work by a reporter of his admission he intentionally used drugs to have many unconscious women for him to rape, sodomize, whatever and There isn't more reaction or prompts for his arrest is unconscionable. I don't care if he invented electricity which at least would have improved lives. The fact that he's still hiding these crimes makes him the worst kind of human being. People defending him are indefensible in my eyes. Whoopie et al is in such a hideous denial.

Hired illegal aliens working on new Trump bldg

For a man who likely hires a lot of cheap labor, his comments seem contrary to appreciation for their work. Has the media brought up his hiring of illegals?

Haven't we stripped this woman enough?!

She is amazing. Strong, smart, funny, ready to reach out to others, solve problems and ready to lead this country. Why men think they can overpower, demean and dismiss her as the best is beyond me. Women get second best in this patriarchal culture but not during this election, dawgs. You don't even know how to run appliances in your house.

Statute of limitations

Weren't women used as sex slaves during war years ago given remunerations? Years later.
