This week will embolden many of those closet Republicans. You know, the people that think like Trump and the other racist pricks, but never say it out loud. The events of this week will make them come out of hiding. Be prepared to sever some relationships.

If it start heading that way, I stop it immediately. I refuse to fight with friends who are not knowledgable in that subject. There are tons of other things to talk about.

You know, MineralMan, that this is going to be must-watch TV. The crazies will be out and spew their nonsense. Some of the rants could be epic and historic perhaps along the lines of Miss South Carolina.

Then, next week, America will see how the grown ups behave. It'll be a stark contrast.

All those celebrities on the red carpet, and so on. Oh...wait...this will be all of those GOOPer schlubs lining up at the metal detectors.

Never mind.
