We stopped watching politics...the reporters are not bringing up the past scandals or decisions made by the candidates for any new voter to make an informed decision. New voters are only aware of what they can get for nothing required by them. The reporters go along with this.

Not what Hillary did in the past..lawyer to the Black Panthers, scandals in Arkansas (Huckabee another smooth charmer but no integrity if someone did take the time to check what he did in Arkasas and not what he is saying now). Huckabee is who the democrats want to run against and the majority of republicans know that he cannot beat Hillary. The media adores him.

All we hear is the "horse race" from the reporters.

As young parents, we never had the time to pay attention to politics. Finally, we picked up our heads and looked around at what happened to our country while we were working at raising our children, manager of little league, den mother, house where all the kids came so we knew where they were...we discovered a new country.

We do not like this new country that judges and lawyers have given rights to people who are not citizens and rights to terrorists who want to kill us.

We now understand the apathy of voters who do not bother to vote anymore. The republicans and democrats really do not want us to vote or they would have changed the voting days to Sat and Sun.

Making election day on a Tuesday, when people have to work, is a deliberate way for both sides of the aisle to insure that few people do vote. Then they complain.

The media decides the winner by their reporting falsehoods or omissions.
