It is August 21 and I really am getting sick of hearing about the Candidates for President and the press coverage they are getting. The election is 15 months away and I don't think I will make it until then. It's sad, but it's almost to the point that I don't care who wins because most of the Republicans sound like idiots and Hilary Clinton is self imploding with her email server issues. We are a citizen government and it is our civic duty to make an educated decision in picking the next leader of the Free World, but I can't take it! I love American History and Politics but this is to much!!
The type of press coverage the candidates are generating should be happening in January 2016. Shame on you American news outlets! This is the United States of America; aren't there any other news worthy stories worth covering? There are a few thousand brave fire fighters putting their lives at risk trying to put out the wild fires out West, shouldn't that be getting most of the coverage along with the Kardashian Clan? Anyway, since the news media has been shoving this election down our throats for months on end, let's look at the race from the point of view of a middle class American male, married, aged 45 with 5 children and a registered Democrat.
Republicans are slowly ruining what was the Party of Lincoln by arguing among each other and debating who is a "real" Conservative. They want everyone to believe that their lack of being able to get anything accomplished in a Congress that they control is the fault of Hilary Clinton and her unsecured email server. All of the Republican Candidates sound like robots and are out of touch with reality and what the average American has to deal with on a daily basis. Most of voters in the large populous States are not wealthy Evangelical Christians, but from diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds. No wonder a self promoting hypocrite like Donald Trump is leading in the polls. I have a feeling that the Whig Party will be making a comeback within twenty years.
The Democrats are no better. They have no one who is currently running that really is in touch with Americans. Hilary Clinton would like you to think she can relate, but the stupidity and pure obnoxious decisions regarding her email server makes her look terrible and untrustworthy. This server situation is going to be her Watergate. On top of it all and as much as she tries, Hilary Clinton will never have that connection with average Americans like her husband has. Ms. Clinton's issue is that she is running against her husband and he can't run!
This is all opening the door for Joe Biden, who is running this race like one should be. He is out of the spotlight and when every other candidate either self implodes or peaks to early, he will step forward in December or January and announce his candidacy. For someone that all the late night talk show hosts make fun of, Vice President Biden is pretty smart. So, like most disgruntled Americans, I will start seriously following this election season when it supposed to start, January 2016. This way I won't be pissed off and I will make an educated choice when it is time to vote.

Jon Stewart, The Democratic Nominee For President
It was a bitter sweet night last night when Jon Stewart signed off as the anchor of his long running news program. That's right I said "news program". For in reality, that is what it really was. For 16 years, Jon's nightly pokes and jabs at our political and world leaders educated us about the truth of what was going on in Washington and beyond, and he did his best not to let our Leaders put a smoke screen in front of what their real political agenda was. It didn't matter if you were a Republican or a Democrat, from Fox News or NBC Nightly News, you were fair game in Jon's pursuit to let his viewers know what the real "lay of the land" was.
Jon Stewart left us but was it really to spend time with his family and work on his farm or is it what Hilary Clinton fears the most outside of Marco Rubio winning the Republican Nomination for President, that Jon Stewart is going to "put his hat in the ring" and run for the Democratic Nomination for President. He would have the totally opposite effect on the Democrats in relation to the nightmare that Donald Trump has released on the Republicans. We would welcome him with open arms! He is knowledgeable, very likable, has no ties to Washington lobbyists, and he is honest.
Jon Stewart is just what the United States needs to get back to where we were during the period right after WWII. If an actor can become one of the greatest post-war Presidents, why not a comedian? This Country would be jugging along on the true meaning of political correctness and most importantly people would be treated by their actions and not their race, religion, or sexual orientation.
How many people would tune in to see Jon (put those Fox News blowhards) I mean be interviewed by Sean Hannity, Megan Kelly, or Bill O'Reilly. He could have Jimmy Fallon as his running mate and Stephen Colbert as Secretary of State! However, it looks like we'll be stuck with Hilary Clinton but One can dream can't they?
