I know this is going to be short, and decorum should dictate that I add more commentary, but it just dawned on me what kind of trend we are witnessing, and I couldn't help but comment.
Look at this list, and tell me if history hasn't provided us with a decent amount of evidence to make the subjective case that each has inexplicably been worse than the previous:
Ronald Reagan
George H. W. Bush
Bob Dole
George W. Bush
John McCain
Mitt Romney
This is just my subjective opinion, mind you. But my opinion is this: All of these people have been terrible candidates, or terrible presidents, and, well, terrible people, and still somehow, more terrible than the person before them.
That is quite the cascade of terrible to maintain throughout the years.
Still, what are the damn odds?
And looking at this list, this glorious list, does anyone really have to wonder what kind of specimen we'll be treated to next year?
