This, of course, is right after the terrified Republican National
Committee members in white lab coats, trapped behind glass with their
â€œcreation,â€ are screaming for help as their nightmare rips them to
shreds.

Great metaphor on Kimmelâ€™s part.

Oh, metaphor. Right, this is rec.boats. Sorry. Explanation:

"A metaphor is a figure of speech that identifies something as being the
same as some unrelated thing for rhetorical effect, thus highlighting
the similarities between the two."

Wikipedia.

Blaming the RNC for Trump is like blaming Patty Hearst for being
kidnapped.
The scary thing is that they are likely to join the gang after a while
... like Patty.
We still have the best part of a year to shake this out.
Trump probably beats Sanders but if it gets to that, screw REM, E.O.W.
will be the theme song of the 21st century

I was mainly commenting on Kimmel's metaphor.
And I do blame the GOP for its slate of horrific hopefuls, and that
includes Trump. If the GOP weren't so right-wing nutso, it might have a
couple of decent possibilities among the 17, 18, 16, et cetera. But,
hell, the #2 guy behind Trump is... Ben Carson, an absolute political
moron.

I do agree that if Trump is the nominee, the GOPers, all of them, will
support him.

Bear in mind at this time last cycle Rick Perry was on top and in
previous cycles guys like Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich were leading.
The democrats have had a few strange cycles themselves.

I will be "throwing my vote away" this time too if things don't get
better. I would rather vote for Donald Duck than Donald Trump.

I appreciate what you are saying here and I agree it is far too early to
even guess who the eventual nominee might be. The problem for the GOP is
that *all* of their frontrunners and most of their backbenchers suck,
big time.

Even for those who can't stand her, I think Mrs. Clinton is a far better
choice for POTUS than any of the Republican clown car occupants.
