What next?
 
After last evening's debacle, can't call it a debate, how much lower does it go now? Seriously, referring to penis size?

I have film-biz friends who are conservative. They are rabidly I the Trumpian camp. They're not stupid people, but, I just cannot understand the appeal. Can they not recognize the difference between a serious candidate and someone who looks everything like a reality star playing the media as only he knows how?

It is such a long political season already. Sigh, I am bewildered and it's just not all that humorous anymore.

#teambernie and will vote #teamhillary if she gets the nod.

I'm not a Democrat, but I'm WAY not a Republican either.
I would enjoy seeing the Party Of Hate self-destruct in a civil war over Drumph.

Then what? Single party state?

Even Reagan could not get elected this season.

I realize they don't get any press, but there are other parties.

I cannot understand anyone being serious about Trump either. I'm just embarrassed to be an American right now after last night.

Yeah, it's freaky. We're gonna get stuck with one of them. I'm hoping it's Bernie, but we'll see what happens.

I think my favorite comment running around the internets is to hope that Bernie gets elected so Trump supporters can get the mental health care they so clearly need.

RStar 03-05-2016 08:10 AM

Ha! That's a good one! Bernie would be the lesser of all the evils.

My self-righteously-Jewish father in law is somehow a Trump supporter. Not that I have ever been able to wrap my head around his various forms of lunacy, but this one is far beyond me. I have not seen his reaction to Trump's hesitation to condemn the KKK (assuming he was even aware of it through is Fox New haze), but I have no doubt he'd find some way to twist his brain into passing it off.

I have never been a, "If so-and-so wins I'm moving to Canada" kind of guy...but I have suddenly been very mindful of the fact that I work for an Israeli company and have the legal right to emigrate to Israel at-will [yes, this is a scenario where moving to Israel is plausibly looking like the safer option]. I should start asking what the odds of finding a position over there are.

My father-in-law likes Trump, too, though thankfully not because he thinks he's a good candidate. No, this guy likes him because he's entertaining. And because he likes to shock people.

Ghoulish Delight 03-06-2016 09:32 PM

Mine definitely likes him for his blatant anti-brown-people stance and misogyny. And will no doubt willfully ignore his antisemitism.

Of course he also proudly displays a drawing of Obama dressed in traditional arab garb stabbing an Israeli soldier wearing traditional Jewish garb in the back, so "grasp on reality" is not one of his strong suits.
