The Comic Book Election


     If the 2016 race for President of the United States seems unreal, that's because it is.  Everything about the two major campaigns reads like something coming out of a comic book.  An adult comic book, to be sure.

   Arch-villain Crazy-Eye, female half of the malevalent Washington power couple who rendered their country's factories onto foreign lands in exchange for a surfeit of riches that beholden potentates are still pouring into the obscenely overflowing coffers of their Canadian-based strongarm operation, The Clinton Foundation, is running as a Communist, the wild-spending party whose prodigal ways have become focused on 1) buying votes through massive free-stuff giveaways and 2) keeping the Treasury bond market nationalized to maintain ruthless control over interest rates, which would otherwise reach heights that would bankrupt their vile pinko game.  Slingin' Willy, male half of the repressible ruling pair, is a politico/predator, the infamous pervert who never could keep it in his pants, bringing semen stains into both the White House and his abused nation's preteen history books.

     SuperDonald, a hero who builds tall buildings with other people's bare hands, carries heavier debt burdens than an entire European principality, and is often spotted with beauty contestants on his arm, talented women who can look gorgeous and do swimsuit, evening gown, or interview competitions at the same time, is running as a Capitalist, the hard-working party that founded the country and made it great.  SuperDonald says he'll make it great again, and his superpowers include making a great deal, constructing national fences, and keeping scum who want to kill us out of the country - as well as all the goddam antichrists who're bringing these killers in with them.

     Will Truth, Justice, and the American Way win out?  Or can Crazy-Eye and Slingin' Willy do the unthinkable and bring the beleaguered masses down to the depths of utter ruination.

     Then there's the bigger issue here.  The one nobody wants to talk about.  Voters no longer determine the outcome of these elections, voting machines do.  Have Crazy-Eye and Slingin' Willy put enough crooked cronies in place to make the results already known to them?

  What can SuperDonald possibly do about that?  Does our hero win the vote only to lose the tally in the end?

     Don't go away.  The hand of destiny will be turning our pages to that part soon.
