Though it has been billed as the main event for months, the presidential election has always been a side show--or from one point of view, a freak show.

As I write this on Monday, I have no idea who will win the side show unpopularity contest (i.e. the presidential race)--and it doesn't really matter as much as apoplectic partisans would have us believe.

The reason why it doesn't matter much which unpopular candidate wins is the issues facing the nation are far larger than partisan politics or the corrupt Ruling Elite that is freaking out about the possibility of a Trump presidency disrupting its self-serving skims and scams.
