Great metaphor
“Right now, the members of the Republican National Committee are
essentially the scientists in a movie realizing their creation has escaped from the lab…” Jimmy Kimmel This, of course, is right after the terrified Republican National Committee members in white lab coats, trapped behind glass with their “creation,” are screaming for help as their nightmare rips them to shreds. :) Great metaphor on Kimmel’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. |

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 |

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. |

How many Alzheimer presidents can we afford in one lifetime? |

How many Alzheimer presidents can we afford in one lifetime? Not that it matters much but the GOP potentials just reduced by one. Perry announced he is dropping out. I'd also very much consider voting for Biden. I don't think he's going to run though. |

Colbert did everything but give him a blowjob on his show but Biden stayed a little cagey about whether he would run or not. He certainly talks like a candidate but being in politics for over 40 years will do that to you. |
