The Clowns visited the Sunday Shows

The Donald was on ABC.

His answer to defeating ISIS is to “take the oil”.  He believes that if we remove their source of income, we will defeat them. The Russians had lots of oil and therefore the resources to fight the Afghans. They lost that battle. ISIS will find a way to fund their war. Zealots almost always do.

On Ben Carson, he informed us that Carson would have hosted SNL if, he was asked, and he was not.

He also questioned excerpts from Doc Carson’s book, including hitting his mother in her head with a hammer and attempting to stab someone.

One statement made by Trump reflects what I believe most of us think—"I don’t know what he’s doing. I mean, I don’t know—“

And then there was Gentle Doc Carson:

I know and I am often critical of our present day press, who are not in my opinion reporting the news. There are 2 reasons that make them an unreliable source. 1. They are almost all owned by Big Business and doing the bidding of their Masters and rushing to fill the 24-hour news cycle.

Having said that, Carson’s claim that the questions which have surfaced about him, are media driven is baloney.

He wants to be President of the United States. He is a world-renowned neurosurgeon, but his utterances in the political arena, for example his story about the Pyramids, and most damning, the disputed claim in his book that he was offered a full scholarship to West Point and other portions of his bio are responsible for the media scrutiny.

Finally, for him to say that he is receiving more scrutiny than President Obama’s birth certificate is a bad joke. Where was he when the leading Birther aka The Donald claimed that the private investigator that he had sent to Hawaii had found the truth and he would be proving that the President was not eligible to hold the Office?  Someone needs to tell Gentle Ben that the Birther movement is still alive and well.

Ah Carly:

She does not have policy proposals, but that is okay because:

“How often do politicians put out detailed plans? How often do they get enacted? Never,” Fiorina said on “Meet the Press”

I guess we just have to trust her, not to outsource the rest of our jobs, make decisions that devalue our economy or take us into another war.

Rand Paul informed us that Rubio and Hillary are the same person.

“I see her and Rubio as being the same person,” Paul said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “They both want a no-fly zone. They both have supported activity in Libya, the war in Libya that toppled [Libyan prime minister] Gaddafi, an intervention that made us less safe.”

“They both have supported the Iraq War, so, I mean, what’s the difference?” he asked.

One week less than one year before the elections, and I am hoping that the number of Republicans who have no shot and are saying nothing worthwhile decide to go away soon.  This sideshow has to end; it is long past time for the Republicans to stop making a laughing stock of this country. It is also time for the current incarnation of the GOP to go away.

Our governmental system is based on a thriving healthy 2 party system, which thanks to the Rep leaders who allowed the Tea Party to hijack the GOP in the lead up to the 2008 election, no longer exists.  That is to the detriment of all of us, including the far Right Wing.
