Instead of being excited about, who I believe is the best choice, I'm voting for the better of bad candidates. Your poem reminds us of the difficult choice we have come November.

    I wonder if we can still write in Alfred E. Newman?

Good luck in voting for None of the Above. I didn't realize her was running. Has he qualified? Maybe I'll vote for him as well. I wonder if he thinks he can make America great again and keep us our of war.

I quite agree, Bill. We need to clean house and start over. Great 5-7-5 for the political 5-7-5 which seems to be eternal until the election or the rapture.
Sending you my best today as always.

You are right. Neither candidate is qualified for this very important job which is supposed to be that of the ultimate public servant. Personally I am horrified by the lack of options in the US.

    The lunatic fringe in both parties here are creeping into the center.

None of the above--that's where I'm heading. It's bound to be a disaster. Say one wins the electoral vote but loses the popular vote, there will be so much anger. It looks right now that it will be a close election, so disaster is looming. And what geniuses thought of having the Democratic convention in Chicago? That's a disaster waiting to happen. Maybe a miracle will happen before the election, because as you wrote, No one's qualified. Best of luck in the contest. judi

I enjoyed your political 5-7-5 poem. Your first and last lines were especially effective. I always enjoy your work. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Totally agree. We might be able to write in a candidate like a clown. It's a very sad situation and our government has been hijacked by special interest group who doesn't care about what we want.

Well done.

    Since half the country supposedly wants the grifter, they will likely get him. If we survive the next four years, his replacement will have to be anodized in bullshit.

Very true sentiments--it's getting harder to vote when so many are not appropriate for the job. Reflects the frustration of wanting to exercise your rights, but having so little choice.

Just wanted you to know nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve. I can't run right now, anyhow, I'm in a wheelchair, though I feel I m at least as competent as the above, and that's not saying much.

I remember when I was at Uni and voting for the Union elections it was allowed to vote for none of the above. If this vote of no confidence was the winning vote it would set a whole new election. It was meant to promote reform I think. A vote against the status quo.

    The extremes on either side diminish what the level-center could accomplish.
