The Republican Party, which was bordering on deranged, has
found a standard bearer who may actually be deranged. Alzheimer’s, Dementia a
combination of the two? I don’t know whether to despise Trump or feel bad that syphilis,
or something equally debilitating, may be eating away at his brain.
However, the party that continues to fund him can’t hide
behind a mental illness excuse. (Or maybe they can if they really think that
lead in their drinking water is OK, but I’m guessing that they don’t.) A few Republicans
are tepidly jumping off the bandwagon, but in large part that’s only because
they sense it might he heading over a cliff.
The party of “No”, the party that for 8 years has known how
bad Obamacare was but couldn’t come up with a single idea to fix it, the party
so fearful of the law that they won’t appoint a judge until they can be assured
of how that judge would rule, so obsessed with personal responsibility that
they would default on the obligations they incurred but can’t seem to find the
will not to continue spending, worried more about who’s pissing in the next
stall than preventing the next economic collapse, obsessed that BLM wasn’t ALM
rather than giving a damn about why it is a thing in the first place…
Wow, what a self-indulgent rant; time to put a plug in it. Suffice it to say that the Republican Party has been careening towards this moment for decades. The crazy-man standard bearer is no accident.

Yeah but... What about Hillary? It’s not an equivalency;
Hillary is far from my perfect candidate. I find her too hawkish. Her
indebtedness to Wall Street is uncomfortable. Her ethics are always on the side
of good, but sometimes by less than a hair. She is a little too elitist as it
applies to herself. I also think she packed the DNC with cronies to ease her
path to the nomination. I don’t like that. But I think the DNC remains
healthier than the RNC. The movement within the party is taking a progressive
slant. But, most importantly, no matter what you think of Hillary; she’s not
crazy.
