Charles P. Pierce: The Republican Debate Finally Proved It's Not Trump Who Has Lost His MindHow does that freak show not blow up the party's claim to have serious policies to help govern the country? How does that carnival of unimaginative invective add up to a governing philosophy? How does that massive, chewy clusterfck add up to a single rational moment of human thought? I don't care if these guys believe in evolution or not, but they at least should try to demonstrate while they're on TV that, somehow, we've come a respectable distance as a species since we tottered out of Olduvai Gorge. I've seen better organized riots. I've heard more coherent dialogue from cats mating in an alley. I once heard a squirrel being eaten by a coyote. The squirrel had better manners while it was being devoured, and was better spoken besides. Christ above, somebody separate these clowns before they hurt their brains some more. Tailgunner Ted Cruz said more than he knows, not least because he doesn't know what "literally" means.

"God, it was great television, though. They should have held the damn thing in an octagon"
With all due respect, comparing UFC fighters to the GOP clown car is an insult The only way the UFC should be involved in this as if all thoses clowns were thrown into the Octagon with the likes of Chuck Mcgregor, Ronda Rousey, Jon "bones" Jones and Vanderlei Silva. Give the UFC fighter titanium brass knuckles, and in five minutes, the world would be a better places as the clowns would be sent to join Fat Tony Scalia in Hell.
Sarcasm flag to appease the wilting flowers. |

He's so cogent and makes such great and appropriate comparisons.
