This blog started out as a forum for politics and the election of 2008-hence the name 270. However, I have not written much about the election this year. This is because this has been the most depressing and out right depraved election of my lifetime. Never before have I considered whether to allow my children to be present during nightly news coverage or during debates. In that sense, this year is like no other.
It is not just that Donald Trump is irredeemable and deplorable, but also that he has been allowed to skate by without appropriate vetting or press oversight. Fortunately, the press, namely the New York Times and Washington Post, have recently stepped up their reporting and have broken several important stories about the depths to which this man has sunk in his "interpersonal relations."
I hope America, or at least 270 electoral votes worth of Americans, is paying attention. There is no choice in this election beyond Hillary Clinton, who is quite literally the most qualified person to run for President. I hope to be celebrating with you on November 8th quite early in the evening. If not, I will see you in Canada!
