My neighbor, E.Z. Ryder, fancies himself a farsighted entrepreneur and is always full of imaginative ideas. He was sitting on his front porch shuffling through a stack of blueprints as I pulled into my driveway. He waved and motioned me to join him, so I walked over.
“See these plans? This is my best idea ever -- an assisted suicide center for political consultants.”
“What? Why?”
“I got this idea during the last presidential campaign.” Ryder said. “Political consultants burn through billions of dollars and have no idea what they’re doing except to enrich themselves.
“They do a number of things over and again of limited effect: TV and radio ads, direct mail, robocalls. And burn through money they do. Jeb Bush’s campaign famously spent $139 million and he dropped out early after having won only four delegates. Top men. Hillary’s campaign juggernaut was defeated by Donald Trump who had no super PAC, no traditional fundraising operation, no campaign pollster, speechwriter, or campaign strategist.”
I couldn't help but agree. “He utilized Twitter and Facebook, mass rallies, and sold campaign gear like MAGA hats, didn’t he? And he spoke his own words, not something poll tested by his staff. He mapped his own strategy, paying attention to voter sentiment and things like the Electoral College.”
Ryder chuckled. “No one pays much attention to those annoying campaign robocalls and the TV ads help only those who sell snack foods or need bathroom breaks.”
“They do spew out slews of talking points for the media,” I pointed out. “If your candidate is a Democrat, that may be helpful, but it is of little use to Republicans. Media love stuff they only have to republish with minor changes -- like the headers indicating the source, but first and foremost they are Democrat operatives.”

Humor?
Darn! I was thinking about which pol I might contribute a free “spa visit” to.
Politicians don’t pay for the ads the networks actually run. What they are paying for is favorable treatment during the “news” portion of what “journalists” do.
Assisted suicide for political consultants?
Not really.
Mercy killing is called for here.
Trump is selling coffee mugs and football like Jersey’s right now.
There just paying there friends...like they pay there family members...
The fools who send them contributions are making them rich
I have to admit I was a fool thing the GOP was going to do something..
Trump has exposed DC for all to see.
Hillary’s campaign juggernaut was defeated by Donald Trump who had no super PAC, no traditional fundraising operation, no campaign pollster, speechwriter, or campaign strategist.
Michelle Obama’s unpopular, wasteful, and now discarded school lunch program from which her kids’ private school was excluded.
Somewhere in Tampa, there’s a warehouse full of Jeb! guacamole bowls from the 2016 campaign.
Great reading for a Sunday morning after all the Fake News postings.
Thanks
Another good one from Clarice!
I love it!
