I am becoming more and more concerned about the possibility of The Donald getting elected as our president. I am hoping against hope that the American voters will come to their senses before election day.

Do we really want a president who is an egomaniac with no political experience and absolutely no concept of diplomacy? I'm afraid we will become the laughingstock of the entire world. I suppose the positive outcome may be that we finally answer the question of whether there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe...when we hear the laughter from deep in the cosmos.
