I must correct the above...it was a 25K a plate and up(250K) fundraiser for Hillary. So I don't blame the bros for throwing money at her. Clooney even came out and said it was disgusting that so much money was needed to run a campaign. That's why he threw the dinner so Hillary will win and get rid of Citizens United and get big money out of politics?

Wasn't that long ago Republicans were crowing about how deep their bench was.Now they're down to a choice between the dick (Drumpf), the a$$hole (Cruz) and the taint (Kasich).

anyone know if there are plans for metal detectors at the convention? If not, they may want to rethink that decision.

I think you have to scroll on the right for The Raven.

1968, plus fifty years. Considering the Repubs seem to be a couple generations behind the times, not too surprising.

down at 7/11 for a hot dog & a slurpee? This is what Peggy Noonan used to call 'misspeaking' but is really 'misthinking.'

The Secret Service is running things. There will be metal detectors.

I live in the mid-atlantic region and have a house in a small, gated, exclusive oceanfront community. Even though these people (excluding poor me) are uber rich, they have been very nice neighbors. One afternoon while floating around the community pool, one of the homeowners that I became friendly with started talking about the GOP slate of candidates. This homeowner is extremely high up in the Republican hierarchy, very high up, but he will remain nameless. He went on and on about the enormous "bench strength" of the 17 or 19 possible GOP candidates filling the GOP Clown Car.

Right behind you with the Hershey Bars and Graham crackers, but not the Nabisco ones, I'll source ethically-made Graham crackers baked right here in the U.S. of A...

I don't think anyone's suggesting we EAT these toxic s'mores, but they will add more accelerant to the fire. Also, this self-immolation will take place in Effigy, which is a small town just outside the Cleveland city limits.

I dislike Truck Fump as much as the next person, but he does know hard work. Daddy made him work on his construction sites, pouring and smoothing concrete. He apparently could build forms as well.Even so, Truck Fump is definitely a narcissist. Totes agree that Cruz is a sociopath.

I call anatomical bullshit on that painting - his fingers aren't small enough.

You say that like it's a bad thing. I'm just fine with Trump & Cruz supporters murdering each other (with votes).

T'Rump running as an independent would be a great way to finally get solid numbers on just how many Repugs are or aren't of Bigot-American ethnicity.

He's really a children's book character called Prince Rebus, but wanted a second career away from punny picture phrases.
