The final competitors have now been established for the American presidential race. Of course, it practically goes without saying that I’m backing Hilary Clinton for President; the last thing the world needs is a megalomaniac like Trump in charge of it’s most powerful nation. And yet, one must raise an eyebrow at Hilary’s selection: out of such a vast nation of so many millions of people, isn’t it rather dubious that the new presidential candidate is the wife of a former president? The same question applied to George W. Bush becoming president after his dad. In a so-called land of opportunity, where in theory everyone should have an equal chance of becoming president, isn’t it rather dubious that power seems to run in families? Nonetheless, I’m hoping – as I’m sure most thinking people are – that Clinton wins the election. The world can ill afford a person like Donald Trump in charge of it’s most powerful country; and, as pointed out here, Clinton is unafraid to ask the questions America needs asking. It is more patriotic to point out a country’s problems than to just fall back on jingoistic rhetoric. I just hope americans realise this, and aren’t fooled by a sweet-talking con-artist. No matter who Hilary is married to, she is vastly more suited to be president.
