American presidential elections are an extraordinary combination of politics, theater and marathon. The 2016 election, which is still more than six months from being over, is proving to be no exception. Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, while exciting to some voters and frightening to many others, is nothing if not entertaining. Important issues such as income inequality and immigration have been debated more than at any time in recent history. The back and forth between supporters of the two Democratic candidates, in tone and sometimes language, evoke insults shouted by Yankees and Red Sox' fans.
