re: #61 Belafon

If you’re a major-party presidential nominee in this day and age in American politics, you’ve frankly got to work pretty hard to get less than 40 or even 45 percent of the vote. Because we’re just that partisan.

And our media are set up to present a contrast between candidates who are usually comparably qualified, with established legislative or administrative records to refer to.

Nothing prepared them for trying to cover a race that includes a candidate who has no record of public service and no other apparent qualifications for office.
