Columnist right on about political scene

Paul Green really "nailed" it. His analysis of the current election primary arena is quite insightful - right on the money.

Bernie Sanders' progress is surprising since he doesn't appear to have visible support of the Democratic Party. Although he seems to be "a man without a party," his popularity is generating a swelling grass-roots movement. They can't all be wannabe socialists, or can they? Changes in the wind?

Donald Trump is entertaining and a crowd pleaser, but what is his platform? What's he for? What's he against? What does "America Great" mean?

Hillary Clinton is Hillary - same old storyline. Nothing new here.

So after the expensive campaigning hoopla is over, will the voters be provided with sufficient pertinent information to cast a reasonably intelligent vote in November? I doubt it, but at least the process is fun.

It's supposed to be ... isn't it?
