Are You an Angry Voter? Take a Deep Breath

Are You an Angry Voter? Take a Deep Breath

Great article going into the 2016 Election. Everybody seems to think voters are furious this year. The angry voter has been blamed (if that’s the word) for everything from the insurgent candidacies of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump to the possible emergence of a third-party presidential candidate in 2016. And although some thoughtful dissenters wonder whether Americans are quite as enraged as the news media insist, the tale of the angry voter seems unlikely to fade any time soon. Do you agree with the author or not?

Another great Bloomberg View article for the RP Nation!

COL Mikel J. Burroughs I think of myself as a thoughtful voter who gets angry periodically. I have to admit I have been angrier over the past 6 years or so at political activity and inactivity than I was in the past few decades.

LTC Stephen F. I couldn't agree more with you. I have seen more frustration and disharmony in the past few years than I have in the past few decades as well. Though, I wonder how much of that is due to the availability of information and the wide range of outlets for commentary and critique versus factual based reporting.

Unfortunately, SGT (Join to see), I (for one) don't see anyone who has the combination of principles, skills and political capital to be a real leader in the White House. Then, we've still got that dysfunctional greed-sanatorium we call Congress. After THAT soup sandwich, we've got the Circus Folk in the judiciary. Finally, if we could change ALL OF THAT, we'd still have 70 years worth of entrenched, entitled bureaucrats to hack our way through.

Alas... what's done is done... and we have made this bed, and we - and our descendants - will have to sleep in it. Unless, of course, we burn the place down...
(That's a joke... No sedition or rebellion being incited here!!!!)
