Yesterday there was another Clown Car Destruction Derby in Florida. Don’t ask me which. I lost count long ago. I took the only rational approach to watching it. Fearing that George would revolt, if I filled him with barf again, I didn’t even turn it on. I did read about it, and would offer some highlights, but there were none. Here are some lowlights instead.
7. Asked to respond to Gen. Colin Powell’s statement that the current Republican campaign is making the U.S. a laughing stock around the world, Ted Cruz says America is a laughing stock because of Obama. CNN’s moderator, Jake Tapper, for whatever reason, lets him ramble on in that non-answer.
8. Trump was asked if his constant praise of strength might reveal a tiny authoritarian streak, like when he says Putin is a strong leader and China was strong in putting down the Tiananmen Square rebellion.
Trump rambled on and insisted that he is just saying they are strong. Strong is not necessarily good. Then extolled strength some more, and came out against weakness, and said it’s not a good or bad thing, it’s just a thing.
9. Trump was asked if he is taking a tone that has encouraged violence against protesters at his rallies.
Trump gave a two-part answer: “People come to my rallies and they are very angry, and they love this country,” firstly.
And secondly, he said the protestors deserve it. “We have some protestors who are bad dudes.”
Then he feebly tries to change the subject to how great our police officers are in this country. But no one seemed to be buying that.

I have shared the last three of nine listed stunning Republican moments. Click through for one through six, but if you’re looking for intellectual stimulation, watching your lawn grow is more exciting.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Aaaw, you left out the best one, about the measuring contest. That was the real laughingstock!!
And watching my lawn grow is not only more stimulating, it is less stressful. Watching the President and that cute Justin Trudeau yesterday only makes it more painful to watch Larry, Curly and Mo.
The 3 Stooges are going to sue you for conflating them with the Republican ninnies!
And Trump has quietly replaced his reported policy statements on his website with standard GOP talking points in many areas…doesn't want those who voted for him based on those to know?
Exactly, Robert, Exactly!!

I couldn't last through this one
What we have here is a failure to…be human.
I have one word the Republican candidates.
LOSERS!!!
Oh my… BIG LETTERS… Are you "shouting"…?? lol.
Only so they could hear me, Jim!
I do not have the opportunity to watch or to pass on any of the debates, so I took you up on your challenge to read the whole Alternet article, TomCat, to keep myself informed. Sigh…My husband just cut our grass for the first time this year so now I'm going outside and sit in the sun – with my coat on, though – and watch the grass grow back again to clear my mind of the debate residue. I may be out for some time.
Thanks all!! Hugs!!
I Hope Lona stretched out on the lawn and used one of her naps.
I have not watched any of their debates, and do not plan to do so. My blood pressure is too high all ready.
