Watching the GOP/Republican debate, and I’m horrified…once again.  In addition to that, I’m embarrassed. As a first world country these candidates and their base has sunk into some pretty uncivilized behavior. It’s hard to watch grown men scrap like 8th grade girls.  Where has dignity and decorum gone?

It has also become abundantly clear that Donald Trump is a bit of a flip flopper, but I’m sure his base won’t notice and doesn’t care.  They are completely enamored by celebrity and how he coddles their bigotry. I am not amused. I’ll be happy when this election season is over. It’s revealed some dark and ugly truths about America.

We’ve become the fodder for jokes and the laughing stock of the world. I can’t have a conversation with my international friends without trying to explain this insanity we call american politics. It’s a ginormous clown show. Discussing policy has taken a backseat to bickering and personal attacks. It is frustrating to watch. I’m having moments when I want to throw my shoes at the television. Ugh!

Technically, FOX News is considered an entertainment and not an actual news network, so I guess it is fitting that they’d be hosting the Greatest Show on Earth. Thanks, GOP!

I want to turn the channel, but who among us doesn’t look when we see a train-wreck?
