At this point, I'm even looking forward to the primaries. But there *is* a certain entertainment value in the dithers of the Chattering Class, who appear to be convinced that absolutely nothing will change in the next 14 months. Or if anything does change, they're going to be the first to know it, bygawd.

The Husband and I find that we even look forward to Thanksgiving now.

Oh, please let Romney run again! Just imagine how great America would be with both him and Trump making it Great Again! We haven't had a chance to laugh at Egg's shirts in a while.

We lived in FLorida when JEB! got his ass kicked by Lawton for Gov. I have a friend who was a medium-shot in the state GOP and he assured me that JEB! was the dumbest of the Bushes & the only worse choice would be his one brother who was a "drunk and a coke junkie" (his words).

Hamlet and Oedipus Rex were characters who had redeeming qualities that make one have empathy for them. John Ellis Bush (JEB!) is just a bumbling psychopath who is trying to carry on the family tradition (dating back to Grandpa Prescott Bush--banker to the Nazis and attempted overthrower of FDR) of exploiting the government for the personal gain of his family and their cronies.

His one brother? I thought there were 4 Shrubs - G.W., Jeb!, Neil and Marvin. I can't imagine that only one has issues.
