There isn’t even a lesser of two evils here.

And Jeb, in the ultimate humiliation, endorsed the Cuban-Canadian.

Wheels off the bus.

Could you expand on that comment?

I say we put them in a blender and make a Derp Smoothie.

I’ve never owned a firearm. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever held a real gun in my hands. But looking at this photo, I’m seized by the urge to pursue a Second Amendment solution.

Isn’t that special?

Doubtful that it will matter other than to further embolden Crud to even more brazen comments and campaign ads.

Drumpf is pretty close to having the delegates he needs and with New York and California yet to come he should have the nomination wrapped up heading into Cleveland.

And ohhhhh the fun they will have in Cleveland!

The only thing more odious than one of those men getting the nomination is the other one getting the nomination. Meanwhile, Kasich is waiting in the wings to lose, in a brokered convention, to Paul Ryan, who swears he won’t run until he magnanimously accepts the adulation of the party stouthearts and humbly accepts the role of messiah, savior, redeemer, designated prevaricator and film flam man.

First, a Fox poll of less than 400 people with a +/- of 5% margin of error seems to be of little use and, because I hold Fox in such disdain, I am inclined to think that this poll is just to support the “new messaging” they want to get out to their audience.

A few quick points:

  • Either would be a train wreck - national embarrassment AND very dangerous
  • Either can be beat by Hillary or Bernie in the general
  • Neither Ted’s nor Donald’s supporters are likely to enthusiastically embrace the other candidate

But I’m not cocky because this is an election we simply can’t afford to lose…

I can’t decide which one is more revolting. Leaning toward the Cruz_Missile.

Look, Trump is already this huge embarrassment for the GOP. At least there’s a conventional wisdom media narrative expecting him to be “unpalatable” to the whole electorate. He’s received so much attention that Cruz has been able to escape the level of scrutiny that would truly reveal what a looney tune psychotic power-hungry theocrat he is. And how horrible his voice sounds.
And his phony face.
My biggest fear is that R.E.Cruz ends up with the nomination, and independent voters swing to the unknown but “better than Trump” republican over a democrat with high unfavorables.

But then again, when they get a good look at his face…

…

And Paul Ryan will proceed to go down to ignominious defeat.
Pop corn time.

Does this mean he could win it with a 3 pointer at the buzzer? Someone else smarter than I said this was framing by Fux News and I agree. This is like the choice between polonium and ricin.

This bolsters my theory that precisely 79 percent of Republicans have had their brains sucked out of their heads by zombies.

It’s a FOX News poll and very much an outlier.

Yes, it’s a dirty job. But somebody has to do it.
