Fortunately “Faux Biz” is taking the burden of decision making from the rounded and slouching shoulders of the rethug electorate… a model for DWS

Why am I reminded of You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette when I think of Carly’s reaction to this?

Let’s see, so you’ve got the Establishment candidates getting packed in, 4 to 3 on the main stage in an attempt to stack them against Trump.

They’ve decided to drop two of their three tokens to the kids’ table.

Has Paul torn his rug, tossed it on the ground, and stomped on it in a fit of whining, yet?

I don’t get why they are pimping Christie, his chances of even getting the nomination are at about a million to one, and the general a billion to one. Seriously, if there’s one thing everyone can agree on from left of Nader to right of Limbaugh, it’s that anyone who is a governor who intentionally makes traffic worse ought to be lynched from the nearest freeway overpass.

Isn’t it because all his campaign staff work for the other candidates? Even if he wasn’t there, he still would be anyway. Besides, they can’t cut all their diversity outreach before the primary, that would just paint the wrong picture of the GOP.

Gotta keep one token in there. They’ve just ditched the woman and the open kook. Can’t ditch the black one, too.

Next round we will lose one of the fatties.

With fewer candidates on the stage, it means more airtime for each. Will be interesting to see how they handle it. Should see some fireworks between Rubio and Cruz, and between the four establishment candidates as they fight for positioning in New Hampshire.

I thought that Ryand said that he would not accept anything but the big show. Considering that he is never heard from, is not worth hearing from and was always a faux hoax, he should be happy that he’s still a part of anything.

The undercard will have a;
religious quack, Huckabee
frothy fomenter, Santorum
fork tongued harpy, Fiorina
and a mini me sized, follicly challenged, ideologically confused, self certified clown, Paul.

The winner of the undercard will get a belt and the chance to actually get back to a debate that has an audience.

The Huckster “forgot” to file to be on the ballot in Vermont. He must be about ready to take his email list and get back to defrauding the rubes again.

I admit that I’m surprised. I genuinely thought Fox would fudge whatever numbers it needed to to keep Fiorina on the big stage.

Fox finally discovered it had enough ugliness to cover its audience’s every “need.” Well done, Roger.
