In consideration...

...picture this a Ben Carson - "The Donald" Trump or vice versa ticket and an apposing Hillary Clinton - Bernie Sanders or also vice versa, but not  as likely; the vice versa not the possible ticket. A not too shabby competition program, hmm?
My vote would be so much easier to make.

Actually, I don't know why the percentages don't work that way?
I mean in the polls, but of course I know that it works that way for the position of president, but not for whom the running mate should be.
The most popular candidates get the final prize of running, for the big one, meaning the job, oh wait here's the  clarification the leader of the most substantive country in the western hemisphere along with his/her second in command, the vice! 
Not with any vices though, hopefully, but the backup position, just in case need be, ya know what I am getting at...

The other issue every four years we have these things is the electoral college that always seems no matter what to make our final decisions. You all know that is a waste of our intellect, since initially the purpose was to make a vote for Americans that weren't quite smart enough to vote(that 's what someone told me, oh no, maybe they meant me!) or probably:

"Why the electoral College


by Marc Schulman
The Electoral College was created for two reasons. The first purpose was to create a buffer between population and the selection of a President. The second as part of the structure of the government that gave extra power to the smaller states.
The first reason that the founders created the Electoral College is hard to understand today. The founding fathers were afraid of direct election to the Presidency. They feared a tyrant could manipulate public opinion and come to power. Hamilton wrote in the Federalist Papers:It was equally desirable, that the immediate election should be made by men most capable of analyzing the qualities adapted to the station, and acting under circumstances favorable to deliberation, and to a judicious combination of all the reasons and inducements which were proper to govern their choice. A small number of persons, selected by their fellow-citizens from the general mass, will be most likely to possess the information and discernment requisite to such complicated investigations. It was also peculiarly desirable to afford as little opportunity as possible to tumult and disorder. This evil was not least to be dreaded in the election of a magistrate, who was to have so important an agency in the administration of the government as the President of the United States. But the precautions which have been so happily concerted in the system under consideration, promise an effectual security against this mischief. "

When push comes to shove the final outcome is decided by it still, that is not to say that we shouldn't vote, we must do that!

Any-who, simplicity has yet to come from this, "presidential running season" that runs longer than any of the others at nearly eighteen months, hurricane season is a mere six, baseball, football, hockey, basketball, soccer, volleyball or any other sporty season you could come up with are much, much shorter, with this proving that perhaps the time has come for this game for title of the highest position in office in this home of the free and brave needs to get its own channel, like ESPN, NFL, etc. and I am more than sure others with those too so why not have them for this as well. Only of course so the true "fans" can tune in 24/7, fair enough I think.
Just another non-requested suggestion, hmm?   

Tonight's ideas are out to my friends to mull over and good luck with that, so now allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!   

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear !
