Yes, we cats know that there were other news stories out there today besides Donald Trump. But after that wild "silent majority" rally in Phoenix this afternoon, how can we ignore him? Here are a few Donald thoughts, plus reflections on some other goings-on in the world of politics.
So The Wall Street Journal has flat out declared that Donald Trump "won't win a GOP caucus or primary." Really? How do they know? Has Rupert Murdoch so fixed the 2016 field that he can blithely predict a sure Trump flame-out? We cats are unconvinced, since Trump has been sinking money into, for example, some serious Iowa organizing. Rupie, beware.
And now the GOP is cowering before the specter of an independent Trump candidacy. (How delicious that would be, especially if the Republican nominee is once again, a la 1992, someone named Bush.) We have a few suggestions for The Donald on his running mates: Michele Bachmann, Carl Paladino, Steve King, Tom Tancredo and, of course, Sheriff Joe. We like Paladino the best — as long as Trump is registered to vote in, say, Florida instead of New York. Carl and The Donald are perfectly matched.
Meanwhile, speaking of gifts to the Democratic Party for the 2016 general election, Donald Trump isn't the only Republican candidate delivering. Let's give a tip of the hat to Scott Walker, who in his pandering to the crazy GOP base has just handed millions of female voters to our 2016 nominee.
Finally, we would be remiss if we didn't mention John Boehner's latest Capitol Hill idiocy. Because even in a string of incredibly embarrassing moves by the House "leadership" since the Republicans took over four years ago, the Confederate flag rider they inexplicably attached to a spending bill on Thursday manages to stand out.
Called out by Nancy Pelosi, Boehner and his minions were caught with their pants down — and chaos ensued. Although the GOP was once again humiliated and the spending bill was pulled, we cats are disgusted as well as amused. Did they really have to wave the banner of the KKK in John Lewis's face on Thursday of all days? We cats SNARL, and dump dirty litter into John Boehner's Merlot glass.
