Two unelectable “candidates” pushing each other around. It’s pretty easy to see where the term “clown car” originated.

So does Trump applaud Huckabee as a winner for keeping control of his microphone or does he rebuke Crux for following BLM’s example and trying to rush a stage that wasn’t his or does Trump diss Cruz as a loser who let himself be blocked off stage by a young woman:?

What’s that I hear?

(crickets) (more crickets)

Someday, Ted Cruz and his family will be happy he was not memorialized in a photo of that celebration of bigotry.

Doubling down on pettiness comes naturally if you are pathologically immature.

It’s hilarious, delicious and appropriate that the people being this petty and childish also beat their chest calling themselves “devout Christians.”

Isn’t it really God’s Event, Huckabee?

Not because this was a celebration of bigotry though… but because the “event” will add to the pile-on that will seal Huckleberry’s fate as a total loser. So then Teddy & Co. will be glad they weren’t more visible there.

I remain disappointed that this clear opportunity to deliver a beat-down was squandered.

Two things:
First, the idea is for other people to comment on your “graciousness.” Having to compliment yourself on being gracious means that no one else thought it was gracious.
Second, I can’t say that the Huck aide is a hero, because his purpose is vile. But you have to hand it to the guy–he came between Cruz and a camera. As far as I know, no one else has ever done that and lived to tell the tale. Dude’s either brave or stupid.

That’s what Jesus would do, right Huck?

Okay now, Senator Cruz, please show us on the doll where the Huckabee staffer touched you…it’s okay, he can’t hurt you now, go on…put your finger on the doll where the mean-old staffer touched you. Very good, Teddy! Okay, you can go pander to your constituents now…take a sweater!

Huckabee Admits Staffer Physically Blocked Ted Cruz…

You know…it might actually be interesting if these internecine antics were covered on a bigger stage. The unfortunate fact is this shit is a flash in a small news pan. We can all do our circle snark here, affirming our search for intelligent life in the political universe…but honest-to-fucking-God, the future of our democracy is at stake…playing out on stages big and small but covered like balls and strikes by a media (TPM!!!) eager for eyes, clicks and advertising dollars.

We…here, us…the majority of commentors on TPM by and large get it. With our Nation’s wealth, a well-run representative government can foster an environment where all are afforded an opportunity to live well and make a contribution to the future. Some number of our fellow citizens won’t make it without our on-going help. Compassion is the measure of a nation’s soul.

Compassion-be-damned is the operant philosophy of one half of our current government (over one half, actually). We are being slowly rent asunder as a cohesive nation by ideological balkinazitaion…gun rights, gay rights, Jesus saves, Moses invests, immigrants good, immigrants evil, climate change, white power, black lives matter, good cops, bad cops, West Coast, East Coast, fly-over states and on and on ad infuckingnitum. Every man in his fox hole ready to fight.

We are in a battle ground of our own making, Hatfields and McCoys strategizing the next move to take down the “other”.

The capacity for getting along with our neighbor depends to a large extent on the capacity for getting along with ourselves. The self-respecting individual will try to be as tolerant of his neighbor’s shortcomings as he is of his own." Eric Hoffer

It seems, as a nation, we have lost the capacity. Pogo was right…

I must admit to being surprised at how inept Huckabee actually is. It’s one thing to behave as he has admitted, it’s another thing to trumpet it as a good thing. He freely admits it’s much more about him and his organization than Davis. I have no pity for her, or Cruz, but am a bit surprised at how poor Huckabilly’s political sensibilities truly are.
