It's very difficult for me to side with either Democrats or Republicans. As you said, it's a circus. And the media enjoy fomenting divisiveness because it's great for ratings. I am not even sure whether Trump's numbers are really rising, but if they are it's easy to place the responsibility on the Democrats for their lapse into insanity. So it seems to be a choice of the lesser of two evils, with one party promising life as usual and headed by a lifetime politician who should have retired a few years ago, and the other party promising a dictatorship led by a sophomoric, vengeful, incompetent lifetime criminal and pathological liar.
