Was Politics Always So Alarming?

I must say that the present behaviors of prominent politicians scares me! Can we trust their judgement, and their style of dealing with others? Donald Trump is particularly frightening; he has not shown any restraint! And Hillary Rodham Clinton is not especially confidence-raising. But who is one the bench for both parties. Joe Biden looks positively presidential, but who else?

The Boston Globe seems to champion Elizabeth Warren, and the New Jersey papers like Chris Christie. But will these be part of the ticket?

The shootings in an Orlando gay night club makes it look like there will be others of this type. Those night clubbers were innocent people just having a good time, not suspecting that they were in any danger. And than it happened.

Are we just in a down part of the cycle, or was politics so dirty? Would we look back on the Bush/Obama years as some kind of golden age before everything went in the toilet?
