Dear God, Is Literally Every Member of the Republican Party Running for President?

http://bluenationreview.com/dear-god-is-literally-every-member-of-the-republican-party-running-for-president/

If Graham were to become president (not a scenario I’m deeply concerned about), he’d drive America into multiple wars. Graham has openly wished we never left Iraq and called for full-scale U.S. military involvement effort to fight ISIS.

He’s also called for the military to invade Congress. I’m not making this up.

The list of Republicans running for the nomination — those who have officially jumped in and those who are on the verge of doing so — is getting ridiculous. They’re going to have to stack them on top of each other Hollywood Squares-style for the debates. Graham doesn’t add anything much to the mix; there’s no one more bloodthirsty than a Republican running for the party’s nomination for president. While Graham has a reputation as being especially thirsty for the blood of America’s enemies, that won’t be enough to differentiate himself from the crowd.

After all, even the “moderate” candidates can’t admit invading Iraq was a mistake.

I'm a Democrat, but even I'm beginning to feel left out. Maybe I'll join the crowd of Republican presidential hopefuls - give me a hobby for a couple of months.
