Home truths, sad truths

The presidential race is down to this: political realism v reality television

Richard Wolffe at The Guardian.

We are now barreling towards a general election between a former secretary of state and a former judge of Celebrity Apprentice.

In the blue corner, a candidate who started her career at the Children’s Defense Fund. 

In the red corner, a candidate whose legal defense fund is fighting claims of a fake university.

One candidate dotes on her granddaughter. 

The other says he would date his daughter.

One watched the Osama bin Laden raid unfold in the White House situation room. 

The other has watched Wolf Blitzer’s Situation Room on CNN.

It’s time for political realism to meet reality TV.
