A Presidential Assassination

There is no debate. I've found something on which even the staunchest Republicans and most liberal Democrats can agree.

Forget private e-mail servers and rigged elections. Ignore immigration, gun control and the Supreme Court. Put down the "basket of deplorables." Suspend the "locker room talk." I've stumbled upon something uglier than the 2016 campaign, a presidential nominee less appealing than Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.


Presdiential?

Pardon?

The eighth word in the sentence is dead, or at least die-ing inside, and is not befitting the leader of the free world. Reminiscent of Alec Baldwin and Kate McKinnon in Studio 8H on a Saturday night, it's pretending to be presidential, but it really isn't.
