probably not the response fury wanted
Sure it is. It cracks me up. Instead of the best candidate winning, it boils down to which douche bag can smooze it up with the most donors. So basically, the most powerful position in the world goes to someone who isn't as qualified as another guy but wins on the basis that he can bombard the idiotic American populace with enough bullshit and throw enough money in to win.
I reckon the USA would be a lot better off if the candidates actually had to prove they were qualified to hold the position and not bank themselves on throwing money around to make up for their shortcomings.
