1. If there were indeed a God...

none of them would make the cut.

2. The rule is stupid. They had other solutions.

But these guys got what they asked for, reelecting Reince Priebus for the third term.

3. That's what you get with a party with no clear leader amongst them...

... that a large segment of their party and the country could get behind... The same with their party itself. It is truly a battle between billionaires and their paid agents to see which one will get the most influence in buying the GOP's party and platform.

And right now they corporatists don't care, if the Democrats nominate Hillary, since they will control the field if that happens.

I think if Bernie would show a move towards being a threat to win the nomination, that this whole clown circus would be heavily pushed in to throwing most of them that are meaningless and try to get a viable candidate that could beat Sanders, as at that point, the 1% WOULD care that the GOP would need to win for them to stay in power.

4. Fox is expecting HUUUUGE ratings for this because

of Donald Trump. Otherwise I'm pretty sure hardly anyone would be watching.
