The personal attacks shown on the
campaign trail remind me of elementary and high school bullies. Candidates who
run for President of the United States of America should never engage in mocking,
name-calling or personal attacks on one’s appearance. For instance, when a
teacher stoops to the level of a child and engages in a back and forth,
everybody loses. The adult should remain just that – an adult.
These attacks belong on a television
entertainment network. They look and sound fictitious, and I cannot believe
they are real and coming from a candidate for the U.S. presidency. Our
forefathers are not just turning over in their graves but are raging in them.
Where’s the diplomacy? What happened to respect? Where’s the maturity? It
disgraces the candidates and sickens me. I believe they are pandering to
American’s addiction to reality television, a phenomenon that has gained
momentum as of late. This is not reality television. We are voting for the new
leader of the United States of America, not watching reality TV.
Whichever of you becomes the
Democratic nominee, do not insult the intelligence of the American people by
showing that you are better at “playing the dozens” or as the current saying
goes, “throwing shade.” Do not, I repeat, do
not fall for the desire to revert back to childish behavior when you are
personally attacked or mocked. Stay above the fray. Maintain your dignity. You
can win this election by speaking about the issues that face our country and
your plan to solve them, not by mocking someone's thirst or insulting the way
he wears his hair.
