I think it's a terrible shame the American people will not have better choices this November (not counting 3rd party candidates with zero chance of winning).

Nevertheless, Donald Trump has taken presidential politics to a new low that is IMO orders of magnitude worse than anything I've seen in my lifetime of 58+ years.
