Trump, Clinton offer only political babble

"Strong minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Weak minds discuss other people." If you look at the two people presumptively being nominated for their respective parties' presidential candidate, both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton fall into the category of "weak minds."

Both seem to think that the American public needs to know constantly how bad the other candidate would be if elected to the presidency.

To be fair, each candidate has discussed other issues. Trump says he will build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, that he would deport all the illegal aliens back to where they belong and that all Muslims should be banned from entering the U.S.

Does he realize that to accomplish any of these rants, he would need congressional approval to even attempt any of these "proposals"? He doesn't "own" the government and cannot act as the grand dictator over Congress, as if it were one of his companies.

He brags about his business acumen. How about telling us, in detail, how he would use his great business mind to reduce the national debt and bring back the middle class to some essence of prosperity.

Then there is Hillary. She constantly tells us how bad Trump is. How about telling us, in detail, how she will improve education, gun control, immigration, infrastructure, taxation, the Middle East mess, and other issues?

All she does is raise her fist and shout out how she is fighting for all of us. What does she mean? Her resume reads: voting to invade Iraq, failed 2008 presidential nomination, email fiasco, Benghazi and the bombing of Libya, creating another Iraq-type mess.

All these two people are doing is spouting political babble. Approximately 20 people ran for the presidency, and these two are what we have left to vote for. How sad.
