Is it a good thing the Trump-GOP clown car has drawn attention away from Democratic candidates?

I can't be the only one noticing that the trump drama has drawn a lot of attention away from Hillary and Bernie, most other Democratic candidates aren't even getting mentioned.

Is that a good thing? I think it is great they are bloodying each other like they did in 2012, but one could argue it is always good to be in the spotlight.

but they are not. Jim Webb, I honor his service to the military, but he's a Confederate sympathizer for God's sake. He seems like a quitter, but is a warrior. Chafee=

I would like to think that all of the oppo research has been done but trey gowdy and his team of minions keep pulling out more issues.

I don't think it's a good thing because at some point they will figure out how to aim their fire at our Democratic candidates. They can only hurt each other for so long...

Was it on here (DU) that I saw a cartoon with Hillary and Sanders eating popcorn and watching the train wreck?

Trump is going to fuck up the entire field for the Ass Clowns. . .

He keeps saying such inflammatory things that NOBODY in their "party" contradicts, and THAT can be brought right back out during the general election. Nonetheless, I DO remember GWB ("Smirky&quot saying all kinds of stupid things that never seemed to matter.
