The Election Day Book

It’s Election Day and a day we should take pride in as Americans.  No matter what you think of the candidates, we are blessed to live in a country that lets us choose from such poor choices.  Many countries live under oppression and have no such freedoms to pick their leaders.  But back to our election.  The more it played out the more it seemed to me like this was a book written for the masses.  Think about it.  You have the hot headed, ill tempered, harsh mouthed, woman bashing, Latino bashing guy who’s not playing with a full deck, over inflated ego candidate.  On the other side you have the slimy, hiding from the law, talking out both sides of her mouth, never giving a direct answer, should be wearing an orange jump suit, but has more money behind her than the Federal Reserve candidate.  Put them together and notice when one of them had something bad happen, the other one immediately had something bad happen.  It’s like a writer laid out the whole thing as a book and we are all just reading along.  In a way, maybe that’s true.  Maybe people are behind the scenes with this information and they are just waiting for the right time to release it?  Now that’s an intriguing theory.  These people have the damaging information and they release it when it will hurt the most or make their candidate look best.  As a writer that’s exactly how I would lay out the story.  It would be like two giant battleships slugging it out.  Every blow would grip the reader more and more.  Think I’m crazy?  I bet there’s at least one person behind the scene pulling strings in this election, like in a book.
