Both political parties are destroying each other with cries of corruption and other denigrating epithets to the point where voters will be hard-pressed to vote for any of the current array of presidential candidates. President Trump has succeeded in putting our nation in total disarray, making voters confused, to say the least. As an independent voter I would opt for \u201cnone of the above\u201d if the polling place had that choice. In the meantime we have a year to watch and read about what each party will put forth to satisfy voters. Perhaps a \u201csanity clause\u201d from both parties would ease tensions for all concerned. And I don\u2019t want to hear the old saying, \u2018There ain\u2019t no sanity clause\u2019 from either side. Whoever is elected president will have one heck of a job \u201cMaking America friendly again\u201d!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Herb Stark<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Mooresville, NC <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This nation and its voters are in trouble.
