And I thought the 2016 Republican primary field was crowded.
And thank you very much.
Gravel dropped like a stone.
Only three governors. And seven Senators.
How far we have fallen.
When, as Merle Haggard would say, “a buck was still silver”, being a governor (or a five-star equivalent General) was practically a requirement for the big job.
Only three sitting US Senators have ever been elected President - in 1920, 1960, and 2008/12. None of them accomplished anything meaningful. How BAD each of them was is a matter of judgement (mine is that all 3 were catastrophic) - but none of them achieved greatness.
The main qualification to become a US Senator is being a bullshit artist. Some States demand “red” bullshit artists, some prefer “blue” bullshit artists.
But neither is a qualification for taking over the largest executive operation on the planet.
I believe. . .
The only reason so many absolute unknowns and inept people are running for POTUS on the democratic side is because there are no winners in the party. The leadership (?) of the party is counting on a complete deadlock at the convention and then they ‘draft’ Moochella “I hate America” Obama and capitalize on her newfound popularity. It has been the game plan for a long, long time.
With this late arrival it will be difficult to kill her campaign so late in the game. I would suggest to President Trump that he begin a campaign to make sure everyone knows just how idiotic and evil this woman actually is. A few quick tweets will get the fakes news rolling and for a short time this will hurt POTUS with women voters but it will happen anyway. better to get it over with and repair any perceived damage now than wait until the campaign is rolling.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, as was once said.
