OR, or maybe Trump is just a big rich egotistic fucking asshole who
thinks he is smarter than everybody else and is used to being surrounded
by yes men and toadies who jump everytime he coughs, and looks at the
presidency and it doesn't look that hard at all, and now that he is in
it, it isn't hard, and the only people who don't like him are a bunch of
losers who will be easily dealt with once he has the reins of power.
That seems much to easiest explanation, but I know how you hate Occam's
Razor.
I don't think Cruz would necessarily be ahead without Trump. I don't
think anybody has any idea what would have happened if Trump hadn't
run. The Florida Sentinel has recently come out endorsing None of the
Above in the Republican primary. It turns out they were Bushies.
I think one thing we do know is that no matter what Bush never had a
snowball's chance. How could the RINOs not have known that? Don't they
have polls and research and all that jazz? I think what they thought
was that they had all the money and once they started running those ads
of Bush in shirtsleeves, his jacket tossed carelessly over his shoulder,
the breeze tousling a few stray hairs across his forehead as he strode
into the sun, his gaze resolute, yet kindly, the electorate would swoon
into line.
I have to kind of admit I have been wrong here. I have railed in the
past about the big PAC money, which you have pooh poohed as not being
all that effective, and now I think that you were right, at least as far
as upticket races like the presidency. All these officials complaining
about how they have to spend all their time fundraising and maybe they
didn't have to. You know it's a little like voodoo. If everybody
thinks big PACs rule the election then they do, but once everybody
realizes that they don't, they don't have much power. Maybe the
candidates could suggest to the moneybags that instead of running all
those commercials maybe they could like invest in the infrastructure.
Wouldn't the voter be more impressed driving down the recently
refurbished John Kasich Bridge, than viewing a million commercials of
the man walking in the sun as described previously?
I don't know what's to become of the RINOs. Lil' Marco's commercials
always end with the claim that a vote for him is sticking it to the
establishment. Normally sunny Uncle Johnny's smile turns dark when it
is suggested that he is an establishment candidate. They have a party
but everybody in it hates them. The best they can do is trot out
Mittens to denounce Trump, and here is a guy who had nothing but praise
for the guy four years ago.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the election, there has been a bit of a
flap because Bernie told the big girl not to interrupt him in rather a
brusque manner. She had indeed interrupted him, and when he told her
not to she stopped and waited her turn to speak. Can you imagine if any
republicans had wandered into the amphitheater by mistake and witnessed
that exchange? What the hell you call that a debate?
And there is yet another republican debate this Thursday. I dare you to take a peek.
