I don't know what else we can do. I rarely find myself excited about a presidential election. It's not as if we have the world to pick from. All we have to choose from is those who choose to run, and who gain enough momentum to make it to the polls. I've often wondered at the way the election process is structured, what it requires in someone to want to be part of it.
It's physically grueling. It's tough on families. Every word you say is scrutinized. I can't imagine why anyone would want to run.
Would the British system be better? I sometimes think it might.
