"I'm proud to be a Democrat where at least I can fistbump.
And I won't forget the Repubs who've tried, to elect a douche named Trump."
For many people whose childhood hobbies didn't include playing the drums with their head, it's been hard to understand why so many people in the GOP are supporting such candidates as Donald Trump and Ben Carson.
From Hillary Clinton's version of The Christmas Song: "Trump's nuts roasting on an open fire. Bernie's nipping at your heels. Wall Street's bankrolls being snagged by your PAC, And you dressed up like Lib-er-als."
Tonight's Republican debate begins at 6:00pm PST. As usual, we're hosting a live chat to accompany the debate (the best prescription for not punching your tv) and you're invited to join us then!
To win a GOP debate, you don't present a policy on the issues, you don't argue principles, you don't literally win a debate over any particular topic, you simply need to show that you are the best at hatin'.
It is hard to imagine these Trump junkies going cold turkey after the GOP primary and instead getting a rush from scoring some "low energy" Jeb!.
Will a bigoted reality show entertainer and billionaire come in first in a Presidential primary? Will a 74 year old Democratic Socialist top the wife of a President, a former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State?

South Carolina, proud of its reputation for having the lowest and most degrading style of politics, is hosting the next GOP debate that will require the candidates to speak only in nasty limericks.
