    About this ebook

    I told a political journalist friend of mine that I was compiling the follies and absurdities of the different 2016 presidential candidates for an ebook.
    “If I see any of those things, I’ll let you know,” my friend said in a dismissive tone, adding, “I’m interested in the serious things the candidates have to say.”
    “If I see anything serious,” I said, “I’ll let you know.”
    I have not spoken to him since.
    Hundreds of people have filed a Form 2 Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission to become presidential candidates in 2016.
    For every Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Jeb Bush, or Donald Trump, there is a Vermin Supreme, Edie Atkinson-Bukewihge, George Bailey, Pogo Mochello Allen-Reese, or Rick Santorum.
    Our democracy depends on an informed citizenry. Where can you find out all you need to know about the different candidates?
    Right here. In this book.
    When a political campaign becomes a farce, traditional reporting fails us. We’re left only with farce.
    This book, 2016 Presidential Campaign Bites, tells you all the mostly-true, kinda-true, and for-all-you-know-it-is-true things about the presidential candidates.
    You need 2016 Presidential Campaign Bites because this campaign bites.
    This book bites back.
