I'm becoming quite thankful for the long competitive primary on the
Dem side. Where, for the most part, discussion centered around issues that matter to the voters. At the time I was struck at how the Republican primary paled in comparison and seemed very sophomoric.
Well here we are. The sensationalism of Trump's "campaign" truly has a lot of us tuned out of issue driven politics. I believe the vigorous debate of issues during the Democratic primary served the voting public well.
