This election cycle was a real entertainment show, with candidates and voters posing as comedians v. spectators. As campaigns put their money and efforts on spectacular meetings and incredible political ads, personal attacks and insults flooded the airwaves in the most American way possible.

2. We said earlier that this election cycle felt like an entertainment show. Is it also fair to say that it sometimes bordered a circus show or even a serial drama?
