Its dark out. A grungy-looking band of (presumably Hispanic) immigrants enters through a hole in a chain-link fence, next to a lit-up Enter Here sign. The U.S. Border Patrol is there, but can only look on in frustration. The immigrants, to their profound surprise and delight, are greeted with balloons, fireworks, a marching band, a bilingual welcome banner, and a giant check made out to All Illegal Aliens for A Lot of Taxpayer Money.

GOP does not STAND FOR anything!
Lucky they aren’t some errant Marine in Mexico.
That’s precisely why the Stupid Party will not win the Senate and will end up losing House seats. Because they don’t stand for a damn thing.
Oh there IS a stand up guy, but the media is not concerned with him, because he is the old-fashioned extreme.
I refer to a Mr. Maness.
We shall see what happens. Sure, there might be a runoff. Sure, there are puddingheads screaming that a vote for ‘x’, and not the media anointed one, would mean she wins. But, every vote for anybody else, is not a vote for hurricane mary.
51% gets the runoff.
