In the comments section of a post at naked capitalism a foreign commenter summarizes U. S. politics pretty succinctly anno Domini 2017:
If you stand a reasonable, moderate candidate against a raging nut job, then the majority of the times the moderate will win. If you stand a vile, corrupt candidate up against a raging nut job, then there is an even chance that the raging nut job will win.
I certainly hope that’s the case. It actually might be the best case scenario. At this point I’m not entirely sure.
The raging nut job was also vile and corrupt, but the sentiment still stands.

Or, more likely, the people were tired of the same old shit from the same old shitheads.
Think positively! I’m confident we’ll see the experiment repeated in 2020.
God curse all moderates.
