It’s game day, of world’s most spectacular sport -American political elections. 435+35+36 =506 games

Take sides, make bets, watch scoreboard, listen to color analysts’s why and how, condemn your opponents and their supporters, have trash talk , celebrate victories… 

It always amazes me how and who made politics, such a boring thing by nature, so entertaining so passionate and so expensive a spectator sport. 

The question is, despite its grand style, fierce competition, can this game bring us the great statesmen and good decision-makers?
