Uncle Jep once told me, “I voted in ever’ election sence William Jennings Bryan,
God rest his soul, stood agin President McKinley in nineteen-ought-ought, ‘n I’m
proud to say that never but once’t did I mark fer the fella what won. I allus
think a fella dumb enough to want ta be president hain’t smart ‘nuf ta do the
job. But then, you know we responsible ta pick the lesser a two weevils, so ta
speak.”
(--or in this cycle, from amongst
weevils weasels galore.)

It's been a long time since I voted FOR someone - how sad is that. Except in local elections, usually a clear choice there, not the usual lesser of two weevils.
Grace, exactly; how sad it is that one goes to the polls to vote against someone rather than for someone.
Once again the wisdom of Uncle Jep comes brilliantly shining through.
A ray of sanity glimmers yet in our crazy world.
