She makes Hershel Walker look like he has the public speaking ability of Lincoln, MLK, and Churchill compared to her

for taking the time to campaign against her. Having suffered her for years, they must have had their fill and then some.

and his advisors, were the cause of several million Americans who listened to that babbling, incoherent, Alaskan "hockey-mom" and said, "gee, that makes a lot of sense. Maybe I am smart enough to get involved in my country's government", and set them loose on our democracy.

Up to that point they had always stayed beneath their personal rocks and seldom strayed into the machinations of government. McCain and Co. emboldened these dullards and made them feel qualified to expound on the state of our Union, and dumb everything down to their level of discourse. It was like giving monkeys typewriters and hoping one of them would accidentally write, "War and Peace".

None of those monkeys ever did type anything coming close to being coherent, but it was close enough to make them think their voices were important enough to form a coalition of typewriting monkeys who should share equally in governing our country.

Then Donald Trump came along. He was a wealthy monkey (who inherited great wealth from his racist, overbearing, slightly criminal father) and convinced the rest of the typewriting monkeys that he had written "War and Peace", by himself, and that he should be the spokesman for all the typewriting monkeys of our nation!

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks, John McCain (you maverick, you) and Co. Now the typewriting monkeys of the United States have regressed from typewriters to flinging poo everywhere again, and they still think they have a rightful place in the governance of our country.

Thanks a lot!
