Rejoice (with caution) DU

For those of us who spent a lifetime watching the careful, no drama, no-change, no-dissent, everyone on message, no out-of-line rubber stamper GOPers....

This election season, for political fanatics is a dream come true.

Word of caution though...Hillary team, please dust off the daisy ad...Trump has gone beyond entertainment to literal life and death threat and we must keep him out.

but with Trump, it is, "In your heart you know he DEFINITELY WILL." There just isn't any question. The guy is basically a five year old child inhabiting an adult body.

the daisy ad.

Last night I saw a Hillary ad on CNN. It showed Trump in his worst moments in his speeches, complete with (bleeped out) expletives. Between those clips, they showed various wide-eyed children watching the spectacle. At the end was a caption that asked in effect, which candidate for president do you want your children to watch?
