It must always be said, the voters hold a lot of responsibility for an insane candidate and mad-cow national political party. We have empowered insane people to pull a Cheetos Jesus and his fellow right-wing bunko artists into the mainstream and legitimize them. You built Trump, Republicans. You broke the system, so you own him.

I have a list of his supporters, people I would previously have judged sane, that I will never trust again.

Evidence shows that private, exclusive political parties are not serving the best interests of ALL of the people. Are we powerless in changing to a proactive system?

Instead of floss, I think syrup of ipecac would be a better cleanser.

This cartoon should delight the deplorables: if you can’t defend Trump, make it look like Hillary is his moral equivalent,

@Darsan54 – I sort of disagree. It’s not the Republicans that made Trump. It was the media. They decided a couple of years ago that Trump / Hillary would get the highest ratings and gave each billions of dollars in free press time.

Trump might be the best thing to hit the Republican Party since Teddy Roosevelt. The leadership needed to be “whupped upside the head and down the udder.” However, I hold no hope that they will learn from this lesson. They will probably revert to Cruz control.

For at least the past two generations, Republicans have depended on the Religious Right types to support them, and they have been very dependable, despite the fact that very few of them have enough money that they were not working against their own best interests. For them, it didn’t have anything to do with economics, because they were convinced that the Republicans believed in the Family Values agenda- anti-gay, anti-abortion, etc. Somehow they managed not to notice that once Republicans were elected, they completely ignored that agenda, or make it a trade-off for securing the goals of the 1%ers who were controlling the Republican party. In fact, they rarely mentioned those issues unless they were using them as a bargaining chip—- until the next time they needed volunteers, when it again became their mantra.After at least 40 years, the Religious Right finally figured out that the Establishment Republicans were playing them for fools, which created the current situation, and they are continuing to prove they are fools by voting against anyone who isn’t an Establishment Republican. The fact that they are considering Donald Trump, who has the Family Values credentials of an extremely active tomcat, is an indication of just how desperately they hate the establishment.It is going to be interesting to see how many of these people who are, in their own minds at least, a moral shining light actually are able to overlook the fact that they are voting for a person who has no morals at all.

Dflak: Teddy was known as The LION, Donnie Dumpster is merely the “P word” he used.

It is a little late for that now, time to eat your vegetables and get over it and move on. Or should we start the 2020 Election now?

Surely we can plot the positions of both sides with mathematical precision and determine that the truth lies exactly halfway between the firefighter and the fire.

Should have shown him wiping his “back side”.
