The Independent

Historians have long regarded James Buchanan as the worst president in American history. Since 2017 a new frontrunner for that dubious distinction has emerged.Monroe Taylor despises the current state of American politics. He has railed against a dysfunctional political system that has degenerated into a tribal mentality... Republican vs. Democrat Liberal vs. Conservative Black vs. White Clinton vs. Trump Us vs. Them.His political philosophies have matured over the last thirty-five years as editor of The Latrobe Independent. But now hes looking to bring his message to the national stage.Taylor decides to run for President as an Independent.His political views are unfettered since he has no allegiance to either party. And this naturally threatens both parties who do their best to derail and discredit him. Which isnt hard either because after all Monroe is as human as the rest of us.Taylor like Buchanan is a life-long bachelor. A lawyer from Pennsylvania. Will his message resonate among voters deafened by the dissonance of American politics?What are the chances?
