It is beginning to look like a circus freak show.

The only gap the GOP needs to fill in their “Big Tent”
is a gay candidate, a Muslim candidate and a Chinese candidate.

My Dad once wrote in Paulsen’s name. Dad didn't like the candidates running that year. He said Paulsen actually made better sense than the dopes running from both parties.

In other news, my cat has decided to seek the gop nomination for President. Donations are being accepted. Canned cat food is preferred.

I’m hoping Steve Anderson will run. You may not have heard of him, but he was an OUTSTANDING Dog Catcher in my city.
