Are we getting set for a repeat of the 2012 GOP Kandidate Klown Kar?

It seemed like EVERYBODY in the 2012 Klown Kar spent some time at the top of the heap being the "not-Mitt".

I think we'll see something similar in the 2016 Klown Kar with EVERYBODY getting a shot for a while to be the "not-Jeb".

Whoever buys the most straw votes will be first in the dunking booth, but the base will root through the whole circus, one or two at a time,bsearching in vain for a candidate with an ounce of blood in him or her. It'll be a him, eventually, but not before even Palin and Bachmann reappear to take a nostalgic runway turn each.

The rank-and-file still believe they are looking for a personality, not yet having realized that personality is carefully bred out of them long before the first camera arrives. Some GOP candidates may be funnier or more frightening than others, but all are and would be equally bad for the country and world. Money has decreed this, and money is their god.

they looked so ludicrous trying to out crazy each other. It was fun to watch the news for awhile.
