The Clown Car

A passing thought based on headlines.  What is it about running for public office, especially the Office of President of the United States of America that makes otherwise smart people (hoping they are smart) say and do really dumb things?

Of course so far in the 2016 cycle the catalyst is Trump.

The Donald’s sister is being attacked by Jeb Bush’s camp. Really guys, who knew he had a sister and since she is a Judge, they may want to consider the possible consequences.

We read the despicable statements made by the DT (sounds like a disease, doesn’t…the GOP is suffering from a terminal illness, which is being passed amongst the members of The Clown Car. It is known as TMDT or toomuchDonaldTrump) about Mexicans when he announced.  So as not to be out done, we have Chris Christie saying that immigrants should be treated like FedEx packages.

Including Jindal as a candidate is a stretch, and his asking the President not to mention climate change or the government’s responsibility for protecting its citizens from the effects of that change when he visits New Orleans is dumb. Never mind, he had been saying dumb things before he ever boarded the car.

Can these people stop being so stupid? Again, I ask, what happened to the party of Lincoln? Why are they so determined to follow the Whigs into the history books?
