Two Weeks Out

Hunter S. Thompson said it best. "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." We are over 3 weeks out and the heat is up on the election. Ten women have accused Donald Trump of sexual assault with graphic and disgusting details and Mr. Trump continues to go on the attack instead of the defense. Hillary Clinton is still assailed by Wikileaks emails accusing her of everything from finding good recipes to using her influence to the number state department personal.
What is funny about this whole thing is that Wikileaks never has any leaked emails from the Trump campaign. Julian Assange should should try to figure out how not to go to jail for rape after he leaves the Ecuadorian embassy.
Seriously folks, we are a little over 3 weeks until the next election and the only issues we can deal with is how many women Mr. Trump has grouped and Mrs. Clinton's emails. I'm with Bernie Sanders when he said " I'm sick of hearing about your damned emails."
This election has degenerated from  a legitimate election to an after school brawl not dealing with issues like improving an already good economy into a great economy.  Investing in public education and putting it into the 21st century and not a 21st century version of the 1950s.
Creating jobs for the new green economy and standing up to the unions and creating light industry jobs that will benefit their children and grandchildren  instead creating this vicious cycle that is not preparing America for the future but keeping us squirming in the 20th century without any hope of training for better paying high tech high skilled jobs. Construction work is good hard that build both character and income but it is not a lifetime profession and can easily be replace by unskilled and undocumented workers as Mr. trump has used on many of his building projects. Even his Make America Great Again baseball caps are made in China.
Back to the issues, we live in a country that in my opinion is a great nation where people have spent time effort and lives to make it safe, economically strong and a beacon to all who love freedom and justice. I think the one thing that makes Mrs Clinton better than Mr. Trump is that she believes this .
I think that Hillary Clinton does not campaign on making America great again but keeping it great.
She also has ideas that will keep America great again like spending more money on vocational education, increasing the minimum wage and building up the middle class so that we can create a future for our children and the world . During the last 2 and a half weeks before the election, Mr. Trump is still campaigning for president of the 8th grade instead of the United States. The film flam is still there and he is still not giving concrete reasons for anything.
With a little over 2 weeks left, I do not see much hope that this election will go the way Mr. Trump wants it to go but maybe some of us will stay at home. I hope not
