USA politics - NOT amateur radio

In no way can (or should) I express views on how the people of the USA should vote for their president in November. They will rightly vote for the person they choose. But I am puzzled. Let me explain.

  1. Firstly, I am surprised that their choice is really between two very old men. In a country as vast as the USA, surely they could have found candidates that were younger and sharper.  At 75 (as I am now) there is no way I'd want such high office.
  2. Secondly, about half of the USA supports Mr Trump. Whatever your views I have yet to find anyone outside the USA who likes him. I really do mean anyone. Not one person has said a positive word. I have spoken with lots of people from the USA in the last few years.
  3. Thirdly, I am puzzled that so many people want to be led by a billionaire who seems to want to be all powerful.
No, the USA puzzles me.

  1. Roger,
    Many of us yanks are puzzled by it, too. Hopefully, smarter minds prevail and voters will do the right thing.
