I’m a retired journalist who covered politics for years and still loves political drama including debates in Congress and the Iowa General Assembly. But in a nation of more than 330 million residents, we voters this fall face the prospect of choosing between two presidential candidates who are bad for America, the question Professor Goldford’s students ask is relevant. Given the potential Republican presidential alternatives to Donald Trump, primary voters rejected more qualified candidates. Students cannot be faulted to turning away from election and politics.

FYI: I interviewed you a number of times when I was a newspaper reporter in Iowa.
