It’s Election 2016 here in the US, and let me tell you without pause, this election cycle for the race to our next president has been the most ridiculous and humorous I have ever witnessed.
From the beginning of this race that started a little over a year ago & the announcement of the candidates who partook – all the way into the primary process, this story could not of written itself any better! (Or was there a helping hand?? Hmmm..)
Every 4 years in the United States, we have to endure another battle royal of nonsense with these elections, and each time a new one passes, more ridiculous the process seems, as it is very hard to believe that this is the best our country has to offer its citizens.
As I watched the Freak Show unravel, over this past year, the hypothesis I made about 16 years ago continues to hold true and falls into play exactly how I predict each cycle from the start. (This cannot be a coincidence, and I am not a fortune teller).
In this episode titled “Pulling the Trigger – The 2016 US Election” I will start out by discussing the past year and lead up to where we are now, following the 3rd and final debate.
I will touch on:
- The wild start within the primary process
- The confusion about “Delegates” & “Super-Delegates”
- The Illusion behind the primary process, and how YOUR primary vote in many cases does not decide the parties choice in the race
- How we arrive at 2 candidates (1 from each Major Party)
- The purpose of the DNC and RNC
- The Main Stream Media’s Part in the election process
- What Polling Data does during this process
- The Republican Candidate Donald J. Trump vs. The Democrat Candidate Hillary Clinton
- The Amount of Money involved in these campaigns and what you need to understand behind these dollars
- My analysis of the whole narrative along with my perdiction as things stand today (10/21/2016).
- and finally….my well though out opinion on the Election process in America and other “Free” Nations.
So there is a ton I will discuss within this episode, as this is my wheel-house. One of the major concerns I have about the progression of each election cycle is how we talk less about issues and more about the Candidates personal history. The election is more of a reality show, rather than a process to be understood and respected.
Please leave your comments, and questions at the end of this post. Otherwise… EMAIL, Twitter, Facebook me and lets keep the conversation going.
This is going to be another powerful episode!
Namaste everyone.
