Washington,DC-It took me considerable time to appreciate just how strange this presidential election has been.
Being enough of a historian to recognize that finding something new under the sun is unlikely, I recalled the seriously dirty elections of the past and the ad hominem commentary that characterized them.Thomas Jefferson accused of having sexual intercourse with his slaves.Andrew Jackson characterized as a wild man from out of the West who would militarize the United States. Jefferson denounced him as “one of the most unfit men I know for such a place. He has had very little respect for laws or constitutions. He is a dangerous man. "
