Every once in a while it seems that Puerto Rico's government decides to fix the economic problems it has caused by –unofficially– pushing the population to leave the country. And now that it has dragged the island into a decade-long recession, irresponsibly accumulated $72 billion in debt, hiked utility rates while cutting service, and imposed excessively high taxes on consumer products, among other things, hundreds of thousands of Puerto Rican families are again packing their bags in hope of finding a new, prosperous home in the US.

So I've been spending a lot of time watching the media and listening to the various presidential candidates lately and every time I get fed up and turn off my TV I seem to ask myself the same questions -- What the hell is Trump thinking?

So, I'm a little late chiming in because I wasn't sure what I watched on FOX the other night actually qualified as a debate.

Some were asked really stupid questions. And one candidate even seemed to have a target on his back.

Let's talk about about a very disturbing problem facing at least 50% of Americans today. It's a condition I like to call "Electile Dysfunction"...
In case you haven't figured it out, I'm going to rant about how we Americans elect a president. Running for office - really, any office - in this country has gotten ridiculous. Whether your running for president or for a seat on the city council, the whole process is simply out of control.
