But look. So how much more bizarre can it get? <\/p>\n<p>Well, the other day, Jimmy Janos tells us that he likes Trump (no surprise there &#8211; birds of a feather&#8230;.) and he&#8217;s &#8220;open&#8221; to an offer to be his vice president &#8211; that would be frosting on the Trump cake, so to speak. Ventura is also trying to sink the Bush campaign by claiming that the Florida governor once sent him a box of Cuban cigars, in violation of the embargo.<\/p>\n<p>Need more bizarre? OK, we read this morning that Manbearpig Gore is contemplating a run next year, too. He&#8217;s been a punchline for half of every  internet joke for the last 15 years, but he think that gives him the name recognition to have a chance at the presidency, I guess. <\/p>\n<p>The punchline for the other half of internet jokes, Joe Biden, is trying to tempt us to vote for him by promising us only one term as president if we will select him. Yeah, one-term&#8230;I believe that.<\/p>\n<p>Phony Vietnam War fighter pilot, Tom Harkin, who retired from politics recently, thinks that he has the horsepower to revive Chinese spy Hillary Clinton&#8217;s campaign in Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, John Kerry is too busy opening an embassy in Havana, or he&#8217;d be tossing his botoxed visage into the mix, too, completing our time travel back to the last decade complete.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think that bunch of clowns like the Democrats have fielded would help any Republican cruise to an easy victory, but, the Republican Party, as a whole, has so poisoned the electorate against them with their Democrat-like behavior every time they get a chance to change the direction of the country, I don&#8217;t think any of them have a chance either. <\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s a foregone conclusion that, unless the Democrats are all caught eating live puppies and kittens at the convention next year, our next president will be a Democrat. And that doesn&#8217;t bode well for the military or for veterans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If six months ago I had told you that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders would be &hellip; <a title=\"The clown car ride to the 2016 primaries\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61398\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The clown car ride to the 2016 primaries<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61398","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61398\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
