Republicans woke up with a coyote candidate...

They went out on the town for a wild party, had too much to drink, and woke up in the bed with Donald Trump. Now they are scratching their heads and wondering what happened?

What are they going to tell their children? How did this happen? Can they plead temporary insanity?

How do they escape from this awful nightmare? How do they explain this to their friends? Maybe they can chew off their arm and slip out the back door and no one will notice ?

Staying home means they don't vote for other Republicans.

But in any case, voting is a private act. The ballot is secret. They don't have to tell anyone they voted for a Democrat.

Something like 80% of the men said their wives vote the way they do.
40% of the wives said they vote differently.

he's a trickster candidate. Like in Native American folklore. Double entendre. It seems like to me that reality has been warped. I really don't understand why Trump is the nominee. I saw it happen, but really I think we crossed over to The Twilight Zone.

Where I live, I hear them each evening and again in the morning.
They are intelligent and quite handsome animals. Unlike the subject
of the OP.

They've been having those wild nights for 50 years so that they could wake up after election day with big smiles on their faces. Didn't always work, but the failures just pushed them to riskier activities in hope of the next big thrill.

There was occasional discomfort, but nothing a shot of antibiotic wouldn't make disappear.

And here they are today, where a half-century of this has bred up a super-bug, immune to the usual countermeasures, and they stare at the doctor and ask "But how could this have happened?"
