How is this happening?

I finished writing this at 4:06 this morning. I'm polishing it as I write now. I think I started it somewhere around 3:30am. What is happening with this election is sending people into a state of anxiety to the point that they are seeking professional help. I'm not the only one that is up at night thinking about it. Either are you.

How is this happening? We haven't grown at all. We are still living in caves.

If Hillary were a man, would we feel the same way?

How as a rude, pompastic, (Yes, it is a word - http://wordorium.blogspot.com/2005/03/pompastic.html) and CRAZY man that has NEVER served our country either in the military or by holding any kind of public office, gotten this far in the presidential election process?

What has happened in America that some people think he would make an excellent president when he cannot (1) properly prepare for the presidential debate believing bluster over facts and personality over substance was enough (2) respect the other candidate enough to allow her to voice her opinions and thoughts uninterrupted and (3) show a level of maturity beyond that of a sixteen year old boy?

What about the big decisions? War. Staying out of others' war. Not going to war. Not dropping nukes. Making nice with foreign powers. When things don't go his way will he take his ball and go home no longer willing to play because he's not winning the game and is angry? Will he roll his eyes at a foreign head of state? Will he tell a woman that represents her country that all he wants is for her to be happy? (And don't we all know that if a woman is bleeding from somewhere that that is impossible to make happen?)

We, as a country, will be unwittingly unfurling the mainsail and jib turning ourselves loose in the high winds of the open sea without an experienced captain on which to rely and look to for making wise decisions for OUR safety with each peril we meet.

Heart. He lacks heart. (I can't write his name. I just can't.) He lacks KINDNESS. He lacks a love for the American people. The roots of his poison run deep. Divide and conquer.

In our history, what presidential candidate has EVER behaved like this? NONE. So, who are we now? He stands before his followers in Canton, Ohio asking the audience who among them are not Christian Conservatives and will they make themselves known. He asks the crowd, "Should we keep them in the room?" This is NOT close to being funny. Divide and conquer.

The fact that not all of us are frightened by his behavior scares me. C'mon people. Americans! In the recent past we fought an unbalanced demonic dictator on foreign soil.(I have one in particular in mind but take your pick.) Will we have to do it at home as well?
