It's pretty obviously that.

But it's an amazing lack of a credible alternative as well.

I've never seen less talent on display in a US Presidential Election.

They could start by being interesting. Or coherent at least. At least Obama could talk, and not sound scripted. And play basketball. And sing. And Bill Clinton could play the sax.

Yes, a bit of juggling would brighten things up.

“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
