The ignorance and stupidity of the voting base of both parties has finally caught up with us. Trump and Clinton are a testament to how dumb the average voter has become. We are fricked.

It's the primary process. In order to win the nomination, a candidate must pander closer to the extreme of their party (both R and D). The result is a candidate that has less appeal to the less partisan mainstream voter.
Most of the posters here are very young, but the "binding" (in quotes because D delegates aren't actually bound) primary process for nominating presidential candidates is actually a very new thing. They didn't start until the 1970s and the first 'Super Tuesday' didn't happen until 1988.
Before that time, primaries and caucuses were simply a way to measure the mood of the voters and the actual nomination wasn't determined until the party conventions.
I'm not kidding when I say I think VERY serious consideration should be given to returning to that method. In addition to catering to the fringes, the primary process has extended the presidential election cycle to over 2 years long now as states keep pushing their primaries earlier and earlier to capture the limelight.
Go back to where primaries at most select delegates for a state convention, then those state conventions nominate and vote for a candidate at the national convention.
You'll end up with much better candidates for both parties, the level of rancor will decrease, and we won't be bombarded with campaign ads for two years.

Good post. You get it.
The moderate voter is invisible in modern politics. Kentucky is a good example of the real damage that can do to a state.
In the governor's race of 2015, 30.7% of the Commonwealth's electorate bothered to cast votes. Left-wing Jack Conway lost to right-wing Matt Bevin 51-46% of voters who bothered to vote. Of those who were eligible to vote, that equates to 16% for Bevin and 13% for Conway.
69.3% were so disinterested that they stayed away from the polls. Politics, especially in Kentucky, has become such an extremely polarized mud-slinging and negative battle that the big majority of voters are turned off and don't participate in this most important duty of freedom.
The damage? Kentucky is mired in a political morass wherein social issues are all-important but the state's financial health is an after-thought.
For example, the previous democrat administration spent hundreds of millions of dollars to set up a health care welfare system state wide. Now the current republican administration is busily dismantling that structure and other projects.
They intend to transfer health care recipients to the federal welfare system. Will this save money for Kentucky taxpayers? No, there are no provisions to lower our taxes.
Will this kind of nastiness reach the federal level? Our unstable political situation in Kentucky is costing us business investments. Who wants to move their business to a state where the political winds are stormy, unpredictable and controlled by the extremes of whichever party is in office.
This build-our-projects-up, tear-their-projects-down, build-our-projects-up, ad nauseam insanity is costing us dearly as a state. Can it spread to the rest of the nation?
Yes, if on a national scale voters get so turned off that they won't vote, then the extremes of the parties will rule and this destructive cycle will spread like a virus. We leave out the moderates at our peril.
