US election is like a sitcom

-

MY favourite “sitcom” on TV at the moment is the Donald and Hillary Show. I am absolutely astounded at the puerile and defamatory personal accusation­s that are flung at each other ad infinitum.

Donald Trump takes the greatest delight in fuelling Hillary Clinton’s apparent persecutio­n complex while she in turn is doing her best to portray him as a bigoted, dirty old man. Has she forgotten that very publicised affair involving her husband – the then sitting US president – and his intern – while at the same time retaining his position as “leader of the Western World”?

America is seemingly a very forgiving country so I doubt whether these accusation­s are harming Donald’s campaign in any way. Surely America has more to offer in the way of suitable candidates? — Sharron Oosthuizen, Sunrise-on-Sea
