A Clinton won that year, if memory serves.

And remember, he was the smart one!

I think seeing how stupid W was, they could not imagine Jeb being as dumb. They were wrong.

his brother did a lot to make that dream come true...

And that's saying a LOT.

I've said before: "Not even his war criminal brother's campaign was this kindergarten".

I believe that some of the candidates were convinced that campaigning was just a formality.

The political talent may lie a generation or two back. The current generation just lies.

But they've got enough money and privilege to intimidate us out of noticing.

Any intelligent person will sound very dumb if has to deliver the GOP base desires. Trump has gotten the message bright and clear and is delivering exactly what the GOP base wants to hear. Their answers to any economically problem are tax cuts for the rich and increase taxes on those who pay no taxes, by rising fees and their taxes to make up the difference,. How do you defend that?

he just says stupid shit.

So is Christie. And the rest of the GOP field. They all are losers.
