The BEST quote I have seen regarding the state of the US 2016 Elections was already given by Stephen King who tweeted:
"Cruz, Paul and Rubio, all running for President. Hey, I thought I was supposed to write the horror stories."
Unfortunately, not this time, buddy.
But let's not stop there...also Jeb Bush...Chris Christie...and a wide assortment of other crazies that make Hillary Clinton look like a prize...and that is pretty tough to do.
Admittedly, I am no fan of Hillary, either. She comes with a LOT of baggage of her own. And Bill's baggage...and NOBODY wants to revisit the Starr Report...and Monica has surfaced...already. Climbed out of the primordial ooze. Seriously, enough is enough. I wanted to see Elizabeth Warren run...or at the very least be Hillary's VP pick. Add a little balance to The Force.
We'll see what happens when the dust settles.
The recent crop of GOP wannabe's is so fanatical...so out there...that the best thing I can say about the GOP Presidential Primaries is that they are going to be REALLY entertaining. I'm going to watch all the debates...'cause folks you can't PAY for that level of comedy.
(...actually as taxpayers, we are...try not to think about it..)
And so glad that Mike Pence committed political suicide early on in the game...because, ironically, he could have been a real contender before the RFRA gaffe. I kind of want to send the three ultra-right-religious fanatics, that shoved him right over the edge, "thank you" notes.
And while our people go hungry and our infrastructure crumbles both sides are poised to spend a gadzillion dollars to get elected.
So there is that.
You do have to love President Obama's stroke of brilliance in the days of pre-pre-election for saying that it might be a good idea to make voting mandatory.
And all the Republicans immediately yelled
"He can't MAKE us VOTE!"
~laughing~
"Well played, Sir. Well played."
Still busy researching the candidates and their positions on the issues. Yeah...I know...what a concept.
It's how I roll.
More anon...
