As long as you're evaluating more than what you see on TV, then great.
However, I take it that you wouldn't mind if the US president offended, say China's leaders, so much that they got a hefty tariff enacted on all electronics shipped to the US, enough to double the cost of all electronic gizmos and gear? Or you wouldn't mind if the US president pissed off, say Mexico's leader, so much that they doubled the cost of most of the fruits and vegetables in the grocery stores during the winter months?
I'm not saying who to vote for, merely that how they will play on the international political stage deserves some consideration.
Sometimes, these actions are long term.. for a historical perspective, look at the Chicken Tax[^].
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

After this "circus" currently going on, I think most Americans would prefer silence as well.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Absolutely!
After the eternity of the dozens of clowns announcing their candidacies, the primaries and now the next 9 weeks until we vote most sane Americans only want it to stop.

As a non-American, I'd like the same thing from Americans on the same topic.
We'll stop talking about it when you stop US Politics from vomiting all over our news channels, forums and Tw@tter feeds.
Oh, and if you could see your way clear to not electing an idiot or a criminal to a position where they could destroy the world with the press of a button, that would be nice. Thanks.

I don't think that's the worst thing US politics does to the world.

If Chuck was in the running, there would be no contest. As a matter of fact, that would be one awesome movie!

Chuck Norris doesn't even need to move. He just threatens the planet which obligingly rotates to present him the location he desires.
