The caliber of presidents the gop puts into office shows a pattern since Nixon.

They are to a man, crooked, incompetent, demented, utterly stupid. It's a mix and match, take your choice.
They would have run Dan Quayle but he showed his ass by misspelling potato too quick and no one would accept him as a candidate.

He would have gone to Harvard Law had family circumstances not got in the way. He had to "settle" for Duke.

I think that's right. I'll check at lunch.

they know nothing outside the foxnews feed.

they only know how to shout, interrupt, insult and lie. then declare victory as they cut to commercial.

they can no longer function outside that world and get angry and frustrated whenever reality doesn't cooperate.

sarah palin was one of the first nationally known politicians who was a product of foxnews university.

now they practically all are.
