American President; Who Wants To Live In The White House ??!!

I don't know about the rest of you, but for me the 2016 election is already wearing thin. It seems more like a scripted reality game show. The parade of candidates, and yes I am mostly referring to the GOP, are perfect for a reality show.

The American public has been fed a steady dose of mindless crap for so long. Now it appears that the candidates vying for a chance to "lead "us, are mostly ill mannered, rich and ridiculous.

If this is the mindset of the people, why bother with a traditional election ? A mix of 2 popular reality shows to decide on the next leader of the free world. Let's put them all in the same house, where we can watch them morning, noon and night. We'll watch their behavior, see what alliances they form to get ahead. They will have debates weekly on all topics.

Once a week we all go online or dial a 1-800 number to vote one out. It would be interesting to see who wins the White House Trophy.

 I would like to believe it would be the one most deserving. Someone with a good heart who honestly cares. Only one so far seems to fill that spot and it is Bernie Sanders...but he doesn't have the flash of the carnival barkers,the trash talkers or the foolish fanatics. You apparently need all of that and more to amuse and lure in the reality voters.

With the whole system being as corrupt as it is, it feels like it doesn't matter anyway.  Politics has nothing to do with what is in our best interest.  Decisions are bought and paid for, how we the citizens feel is not high on the list of concerns. The party system picks the 2 they choose, and then they let us think we're making the final decision. Pretty good directing and producing, because let's face it, it's been a game for a long time already.

In this reality game show the real losers will probably be us.
