Candidates are Grade D

I find Candidate X an impostor, claiming to be Christian, but displaying no attributes of Christian principles. Attending a church every so often and claiming to be a Christian is about as logical as standing in a garage and claiming to be a Mercedes.

As for X’s qualifications to be president, again, in my honest opinion, he scores low on my credibility scale. All politicians practice tickling the ears of their audience, and some, occasionally, are no more than bullies in business suits. I have found nothing to like about having Mr. X as my president.

We do have Tweedledee and Tweedledumb options this election, but Mr. X falls into the class of fairy tales titled “Humpty Dumpty.” Humpty Dumpty will fall, and nobody in America will be able to put him back together again.

Name withheld to prevent lawsuit.

My vote may very well be for an impartial third-party candidate. Good luck justifying your choice this year. Both presidential political parties are offering Grade D meat for sale to the public. Grind them all up, and they are feeding us bologna, and that’s part bull.
