Who’s feeling tanned, toned and ready to be tested?

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been watching the Republican’s imitation of the Batley Townwomen’s Guild and wondering if the nation’s strategic popcorn reserves will last until November what M. Fleur de la Merde has to say about the pending GOPcon.

If we have somebody who we think has been battle-tested and has strong conservative principles and the ability to articulate them, and they are nominated at this convention, there will be a lot of acrimony from the people who were seeking the nomination. But if it’s somebody who has, you know, has those convictions that they can express in a compelling way, we could come out of the convention in relatively strong position, because we do have, you know, look.

Wait. Candidate Battle-bot Articulated Principles will make people angry, but Candidate Express Compelling Convictions … won’t? Perhaps this would make sense if I was a rich, terminally spoiled creep who broke out in hives when I heard the words “living wage.” Alas.

Donald Trump excites a lot of enthusiasm. But he also excites a lot of anger within the Republican Party and outside of the Republican Party.

Thanks a lot Obama!

And a fresh face might be the thing that could give us a chance to turn this election and win in November against Hillary.

So. Rove’s cunning plan is to pull a fresh face – that isn’t attached to Marco Rubio apparently – out of a hat at the convention.

I don’t think there’s that much popcorn in the world, but I’d be willing to go without if only that would happen.

As an aside, what’s Harold Watson Gowdy v. 3.0 up to these days?
