The current GOP race is something of an un-reality show, frankly.
Aaaaand … we’re back.
Happy New Year everyone, and yes the holiday was lovely, thank you. Will write more on what we saw – and the conclusions we drew – soon.
Meanwhile. So. Here we go.
Deep breath.
Welcome to a year of trying to save America from itself.
Beginning with:
No apologies whatsoever for posting partisan stuff.
We will seek to make our political commentary and predictions unbiased, but any sane, rational person must surely campaign against the current crop of Republican candidates.
They are universally awful. Even the RNC is terrified of them.
Even worse, for the health of public discourse, it means that Hillary (and almost certainly it will be Hillary, although Bernie Sanders will have a couple of creditable early results) will have a coronation rather than get elected on her merits or otherwise, and that ain’t good for America, or anyone who respects democratic debate and the great contest of ideas.
Oh, and you heard it here first. Trump will NOT be the Republican nominee. But if by some miracle we are wrong, he simply cannot win a general election. Demographically, he has simply no chance.
Mind you, what damage he will do to both the Republicans and the broader American body politic along the way is another matter.
Of course, the only hell-toupee fake tan machine ever to run for President is generating some good jokes. Our current favourites are:
What is Donald Trump telling Barack Obama supporters? Orange Is The New Black.
What plane does Donald Trump aspire to fly on? Hair Force One!
Why are Muslims worried about Trumps immigration plans? Once you deport Juan you deport Jamal.
Trump supporters’ new campaign slogan? “We shall over-comb.”
And then one we actually wrote ourselves:
Donald Trump. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow.
We feel a t-shirt coming on.
OK. That’s enough Trump for now – Ed.
Well, This Is What I Think
