It's a shotgun wedding. For both of them. With the RNC holding the piece to make sure everyone else holds their peace.

To be fair, the giant signs saying "turkey" with arrows pointing down are a big help.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. Promise miracles without delivering long enough, and pretty soon, the rubes will find other people who promise miracles they can't deliver.

Maybe someone could make some kind of... I dunno... extra add-on thingy for the constitution? I bet Victoria Jackson would know what to do.

Frankly, the GOP primaries are scaring the heck out of me, because I always had real concerns about Hillary Clinton not be electable. I mean, I am a libertard, and I didn't want her to run, because I am really disliking these political dynasties. I am terrified the GOP are going to select a complete zealot... and then what?

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm hoping that whatever zealot the GOP nominates will be too repulsive for the general. I thought they might've learned their lesson in 2012 about alienating everyone who isn't old, male, white, and Christian, but it seems like they've doubled down.

And if they DO win on a platform of Pale Stale Males vs Everyone... I dunno, then maybe we collectively deserve it.

I know it's just a calendar day, but it still gives me hope for what passes as "winter" in SoCal.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

It should've been clear to everyone how bad he was when he "punted" on the question of Evolution.

It's really simple: If you want to appeal to the GOP, say "No!" If you want to appeal to anyone else, say "Yes!" Whatever you do, don't respond with such a terrified squeak, especially not multiple times.

Maybe they think all religions should be outlawed. One can hope.

Maybe a BJ from Rubio. Mouth would be full so I wouldn't have to hear his voice, and he does have some purty lips.
