Why is it that the only time Republicans ever do anything interesting, they get dragged into it kicking and screaming?
Ross Perot and his fever charts were the bane of the country club set.
Sarah Palin and her hockey mom lipstick gave them the vapors in their Brooks Brothers wingtips.
Now comes Donald Trump, in what is sure to be an epic debate faceoff in Cleveland Thursday night. The Donald versus everybody! Mr. Universe takes on The Nine Dwarves! The Boss schools nine quaking little Apprentices!
In your mind, you can see the lighted-up marquee outside the arena with searchlights scanning the skies and hear the pro wrestling announcer intoning the combatants with grand hoopla. Truly, a Lincoln/Douglas-style debate for modern American masses!
And by the look on Republicans faces today and the faces of expert political journalists everywhere, you would think something rotten had died and begun leaking.

Someone tell this guy that kneepads are for Democrats. Cruz isn’t a Dwarf.
Actually we should start a non profit to fund the “Conservative Media Sycophant Clean-up kit.” Kneepads, a box of tissue and a bottle of mouthwash, because it’s hygienic to clean up after sex.

Very entertaining article. Thanks!
When was this written? Perry didn’t make the cut to be in the big boy debate.
It seemed to me that Trump got flummoxed on O’Reilly last night when he was asked repeatedly how he would get Mexico to pay for a border barrier, and he repeatedly tried to change the subject without ever answering. O’Reilly finally let him off easy, but when Trump brought up the comparative length of the Great Wall of China, O’Reilly asked him if he knew why it was built and again Trump stumbled with O’Reilly telling him that it was to keep out the Mongol hordes, once again letting Trump off the hook.
I surely hope he does better than that in the debates, otherwise he may get picked apart if the others sense a similarly obvious weakness and start ganging up on him.
Trump might say “I will build the fence and Mexico will pay for it or by God as my witness I will pay for it myself!”
Flummoxed? You’d better call your TV repairman.
BOR kept needling Trump to tell HOW he’d make Mexico pay for the wall. Trump kept telling him INDIRECTLY how he’d do it, and BOR is either stupid or was trying to make Trump blow up, by letting on like he didn’t understand. Trump kept saying, “Bill, Mexico makes Billion$ of $$$$ on the stuff they freely ship across the border.” The unspoken part was, “Mexico will be happy to pay for the wall rather than lose this huge market.”
It ended with a bet of sorts. BOR, He who knoweth all things, said Trump will never get it done; to which Trump replied, “Just watch me!” Paraphrased.
Flummoxed? Don’t you just wish?!
"I would imagine cutting Donald Trumps mic would be something like taking a banana away from a gorilla. This alone is enough to spark something entertaining. But what makes this exact situation so watchable is that there will be nine other slightly terrified politicians in the cage with the gorilla when they take away his banana.And not only will there be nine politicians in the cage with the hungry and increasingly agitated gorilla, but each of those politicians will have a banana of their own that they must protect if they want to stay in the debate.
When Mr. Trump charges, how quickly do you think these pressure-washed, blow-dried, lip-plumped, whisker-waxed little sissies hold onto their little bananas before giving them up? -- Charles Hurt
Someone should remind The Donald of John Preston. John Preston was a large man with an even larger ego who had no problem telling everyone he was smarter than they were, that he knew all the facts, that he was a big man in a small west Texas town.
When John died, he was too large to fit into the largest coffin in town. He would not fit into a piano case.
Mack Logan whom John Preston had repeatedly berated as being “The Village Idiot” came up with a solution that worked. The undertaker inserted a Fleet enema up John butt and waited a few hours. After he was deflated, they buried old John Preston in a pine box sized for a child.
But If they gave DT an enema, where would all his fawning supporters go? ;)
The problem is, “indirectly explaining” won’t work with most voters. Trump needs to be clear on such things, or he comes off looking hollow. BOR knows this, and I think that’s why he kept after DT - to give him a(nother) chance to be direct, which is, after all, one of Trump’s strengths (at least as perceived by many supporters.)
IMO, Trump could have come up with an even better answer: “Mexico will pay for the wall, or will lose their lucrative trade agreements with us. AND, if Mexico balks, I’ll have China pay for it, which will require no pressure on them (China) at all.” (Think about it...)
