What's the difference between the circus and national elections?

The circus has things other than clowns.

I swear to Jebus, I knew who posted this thread from reading the title alone.

Hah.

I guess I'm no longer the only poster for what that is possible.

The national election is a circus.  So they have everything in common.

Also, this is the lamest riddle I've ever heard.  In fact, I don't even think it is a real riddle.  It's just a bad joke.  According to Webster a riddle is either "a question requiring ingenuity to be answered" or "a puzzling thing or person."  The above meets neither of these definitions.  Also, when giving a riddle it is customary to let people make their own guesses first instead of immediately blurting out the answer.  The whole point of riddle is to challenge one's mind.

I also knew the punchline to this before opening it.

I never said it would be a good riddle.   I just wanted to post something light hearted.

I cannot decide which is worse, the grammar or the joke.

It isn't a riddle.  It's barely even a joke in fact.

[Ebowed]

Ah, Christian humor.  Here are a few more.

A child came home from Sunday School and told his mother that he had learned a new song about a cross-eyed bear named Gladly.  It took his mother a while before she realized that the hymn was really "Gladly The Cross I'd Bear."

Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging about their fathers. The first boy says, "My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a poem, they give him $50."

The second boy says, "That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100."

The third boy says, "I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon and it takes eight people to collect all the money!"

A little boy, who wanted $100.00 very badly, prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write GOD a letter requesting $100.00. When the postal authorities received the letter to GOD, U.S.A., they decided to send it to the President. The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the boy $5.00. Mr. President thought that this would appear to be a lot of money to the little boy. The little boy was delighted with the $5.00 and immediately sat down to write a thank you note to GOD that read: "Dear God, Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, D.C., and, as usual, those devil's deducted $95.00."

I know some Christian jokes as well. I'd tell them, but they'd probably be removed for being in poor taste.
