Many of you have wondered why I have been largely silent over the past few months, and have not been blogging on the 2016 US Presidential race. The reason is pretty simple.
There is only so much crazy I can tolerate.
I have watched the unfolding events around the 2016 American Presidential race with a growing sense of despair. I had hoped that after the 2012 election the Republican Party would find that mindless factless, and patently racist obstructionism was not a path back to the White House.
Apparently that hope was at best a fantasy. The Republican Party as it had existed throughout American history beginning with the election of Abraham Lincoln, is dead. It had been in a coma since 1996, but now it is long past time to declare the GOP officially brain dead.
When the core platform of the GOP is to once again, make pre-existing conditions a reason to deny a person health care, and to take away civil rights from thousands of Americans by forcibly divorcing them from their husbands and wives; You have to wonder at the basic sanity , let alone decency of the cirque d'insanity that calls itself the Republican Party in 2016. Let alone their current clear front runner.
Seriously... this is what passes for a front runner in Republican Presidential politics in 2016. But ok... lets pretend for a moment that Donald Trump is not the face, (and Id) of the modern day GOP, who is next in line?
That would be this guy...
Lets pretend for just a moment that the guy who just won the GOP race in the Iowa Caucus is not a serious contender for the GOP presidential nomination. So who else is there? Ladies and Gentlemen , meet the guy who is next in line... Marco Rubio.
There is no reason for any sane, decent patriotic American to even consider voting for any of the current crop of GOP Presidential candidates.
