The first rule of being a good republican. Be the biggest asshole in the room.

I don't know squat about Martin O' Malley, but he'd be better by far than any of these evil dirtbags.

But he seems not to have any traction at all.

I'm still undecided, but if any of these morons gets in - I may have to take advantage of my dual citizenship.

I simply cannot imagine living in an America governed by a Trump, a Rubio, a Cruz, a Christie...etc.

Not being able to stand the full show so far, I have had to step out of the room many times, because of these AHs.
I have never, ever heard so much hate talk and lies on President Obama than I have listened to tonight.
Of course by these clowns doing this they are also going after Hillary.
What lying fools they are.
How can people in their right minds even think about voting for one of these snarks to put it mildly.

Is the MSM treats these fools like their "ideas" are serious proposals, while completely ignoring Bernie Sanders who really HAS serious proposals.

This election will go down in the history books as a total manipulation of our electoral system by the elites.

Only two of our candidates have any interest in changing our country for the better.

Unfortunately that is not the candidate the elites are determined to elect.

when the camera panned the audience and their sat quitter Sarah Palin! Well, she was a guest on Jake Tapper's show earlier in the afternoon. When Jake ended the conversation/interview, Jake said to Sarah, "Please say hello to

There goes Chris Christie dissing the president again. When does it stop! "This administration has been so lax……" Now it is Jebbie's turn to lie.

(which should have been well-honed in 2000-08), can possibly actually watch this swill in anything like real time. Frankly, I am so fed up with political "speechifying" that I rarely attend to even a BHO speech, compelling as many of them have been.

And the loathsome toadying of the media sycophants is a big part of it.

I do not generally watch beauty pageants or award shows, exploitation, crass materialism, and celebrity promotion only a part of my distaste, but these political encounters are for me even darker and far more evil in terms of the destruction of anything resembling a healthy national self-image and attitude towards the amazing gaggle of folks in our world who are not angry overweight self-entitled pale-skinned late-comers to North America.

What they don't realize is that we realize when this many clowns are under one tent we are watching a real circus. I'm calling it the fear show, the one magic card they still hold, they think, to change the election, fear, fear, fear. They rant like kids fighting on a playground threatening to go kick ass on another playground. Obama works on peace.
