Ain't that the truth.
Look at the bizarre human garbage presented as the options.

I've always found that to be a specious folk saying. Clinton is supremely qualified for the job. Romney and McCain were both superbly qualified to be President. Kasich and Bush were both well qualified. The problem is that we have created a system for ourselves where people are scrutinized beyond belief and that's nobody's fault but our own. We complain about the lack of depth and then as soon as someone shows any depth we immolate them.

This is amazing:
...Chris Christie spent the entire speech screaming wordlessly. I have never seen someone scream so loudly without using his mouth before. It would have been remarkable if it had not been so terrifying.
Sometimes, at night, do you still hear them, Clarice? The screaming of the Christies?
His were the eyes of a man who has gazed into the abyss, and the abyss gazed back, and then he endorsed the abyss.This is his life now.
...
Soon he must return to the plane onto which Trump humiliatingly sent him before. Soon he must return to the small cupboard under the stairs where he is kept and occasionally thrown small slivers of metaphorical raw meat. When he asked to be part of Trump’s cabinet he never thought to specify “presidential cabinet, of course, not a literal cabinet underground where the ventilation is poor and there is no light.” It just did not occur to him. Why would it?
And now it is too late.
Nobody is coming for you, Chris Christie. Nobody is coming to save you.
Chris Christie has seen things. Things you wouldn’t believe. Things that would make your hair fall out and turn grey all at once. But he cannot speak of them. He can only stand there. Chris Christie is the bearer of a hideous knowledge that hangs on him like a horrible weight. But he has no way to say it.

If you want to lay out the vast, vast policy differences between the Republican candidates I'd love to hear them, Dingus.

Chuck Todd is reporting that at least one Republican Senator may endorse Clinton if Trump clinches the nomination:
Chuck Todd: An Incumbent Republican Senator May Endorse Hillary Clinton
Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd revealed sources have told him at least one incumbent Republican Senator may publicly endorse Hillary Clinton for president if Trump cements his lead as the party's presidential frontrunner.
"I heard real speculation today from very informed people that at least one Republican Senate incumbent if given the choice might publicly endorse Hillary Clinton," Todd said on MSNBC's coverage of Super Tuesday.
"An incumbent Senator is at least one that I've heard that could end up doing that, making that choice," Todd said. "Not because they want to, but because they need to send that message, look there is a bunch ever them running for reelection in a lot of blue states."

He looked like a man with a giant turd stuck in his mouth, unable to swallow or spit it out.

Sounds like Carson is finally catching the hint. Like most neurosurgeons, he is letting the patient die long after any reasonable chance of survivability.

Rubio makes Romney look like the Fonz: http://i.imgur.com/wthCjiT.mp4
And John is right. We can all laugh and point but staying home in 2010 basically f*#ked this country for a decade.

ha, good point, John
The emergence of the Tea Party was embraced by the GOP and was a very large reason they took back the House in 2010
the Tea Party was also the big reason the GOP lost the Senate to the Dems then
remember Christine O'Donnell and Richard Mourdock?

I said it right here in 2008.
"Barack Obama is going to show us just how widespread and deeply-felt racism really is in America"
I think that that has proven true.
Its something that had to come to the fore eventually, and although its an ugly and sickening spectacle, I really think its a necessary process in order for the nation to move forward. You just have to hope that the American people can get over this hump and that it doesn't get too scary in the process.
I really feel that by pandering to this very sizable element of American society Trump is doing us all a huge favor. If nothing else, he's going to force the GOP to do some serious, reality-based soul-searching in regard to the dangerous consequences of their southern strategy.
