We cats have been traveling this weekend and occupying ourselves with subjects other than politics (imagine!). So we've come back to these blaring headlines about Donald Trump's latest thingy and how the GOP field is being roiled again and, OMG, what next?
All we can say is, It's your party, GOP. He's your guy. Vaya con Dios.
But two points come to mind that we just have to make.
First, that so-called political correctness is not a bad thing. Contrary to what Donald Trump says, there is not too much of it in the world. Do you know why? Because political correctness is nothing more than being considerate of other people's feelings. Goodness gracious, even Ben Carson agrees with us on this (at least in regard to Megyn Kelly). But we would argue that it applies exponentially. Maybe all these right-wing evangelicals would recognize the sentiment if we phrased it thusly: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
Second, Trump's behavior — and the Republican candidates' unwillingness to totally call him out — is about more than political weeniness. It's about maturity. There is no doubt that Trump the vanity candidate isn't sufficiently adult to be President. But clearly, none of these other GOP guys are, either. Sorry, folks, but Presidential politics just can't be conducted this way.
So if you're fed up with the GOP's verbal equivalent of manspreading, the Democrats have a highly qualified and very intelligent front-runner at the moment who might interest you. She has never accused the media of being on the rag (although God knows she could have), and, like Obama, compared to the Republican clown car she is the only grownup in the room. We're talking Hillary Rodham Clinton. Take heart, America! We cats PURR.
