A Shakespearean Guide to the 2016 GOP Primary

Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here: A Shakespearean Guide to the 2016 Republican Primary


Donald Trump

… many a man hath more hair than wit.


Scott Walker

O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!


Ted Cruz

I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself
And falls on th’ other.


Mike Huckabee

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.


George Pataki

(Enter Ghost)


Chris Christie

In the corrupted currents of this world
Offence’s gilded hand may shove by justice,
And oft ‘tis seen the wicked prize itself
Buys out the law.

too low for a high praise, too
