Greeson: Presidential silliness in serious times, and a real Saturday star

A day or so before the worst act of violence against an American police force since 9/11, did you see the social media exchange our two presumptive candidates for president had?

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton looked more like candidates for a middle school student government position than the top spot in the free world.

The latest flap, of course, is about what The Donald did or didn’t intend with a social media message that was viewed by a lot of folks as anti-Semitic. To account for that, The Donald referenced a star on a box on a toy with the images from the Disney movie “Frozen.”

Not to be outdone by her counterpart, The Hillary offered on her Twitter account, “Do you want to build a straw man” because, well, this is now officially junior high.

How in the world can anyone explain to the average American that the best our two major political parties can offer is Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton? How is that even remotely possible?
