There are a couple in the sea of candidates that I may prefer over the others. And, due to how jaded I am, I could almost take seriously the joke that Bruce Jenner would make the best candidate of all on the Republican ticket:

Quote:
"With the progressive mania for any sort of a "first" in terms of gender, race, or any other sort of first - however outlandish - Bruce Jenner is the perfect candidate for President of the United States. As a transgender he would be irresistible to the progressive base and he is a registered Republican".
Then the other joke:

Quote:
"News flash. After post surgical recovery from anesthesia Bruce - oops, I meant Caitlyn - Jenner announced that she would do her patriotic duty for America and donate her testicles to be transplanted on President Obama"
Some of what Trump had to say was valid, some was hogwash. However, Trump is a self made, self promotional, circus barker billionaire who's much more suited for "The apprentice" than the presidency. He's gone from being outside the tent pissing in to being inside the tent and still pissing on the inside. If it then turns into a free for all pissing contest, everyone inside gets wet, everyone stinks, and Trump still won't get elected. Of course, the media will egg it on while the progressive side just sits back and watches the right of center implosion.

I want to hear their ideas, not how bad the other candidates are.

We've already been through somewhat this sort of thing in California with Schwartzenegger waving his broom around at the podium during the election. I haven't seriously checked it out, but I think the only two non politicians elected to the White House were General Washington and General Eisenhower. Obama is close to being a non politician who's primary career was that of a socialist community organizer, Warren is mostly a socialist academic who lied about ethnicity to get benefit. Long term Congressman Bernie Sanders is a life long, avowed, hard core socialist. Consummate politician Hillary Clinton is unfit to even carry out Reagan's chamber pot and all four of the above are dogmatic hypocrites.

So, I'm involved, but it's not out of any great love of the Republican party. I truly fear the scorched earth that's going to come out of a progressive Democratic electoral victory.
