(71,611 posts).... and actually be nominated. It wouldn't even be published as dystopian fiction by any reputable publisher because it's so surreal and ridiculous. Yet we see it in front of us every day. He doesn't even bother to mount the thinnest of subterfuges to mask a character so vile and reprehensible that it makes Lex Luthor seem like Mary Poppins in comparison. When he says he could actually murder someone in front of the cameras and his supporters would continue to support him, I don't think he's joking or exaggerating.
What's even MORE insane is that there's ANY 'contest' whatsoever. The GOP couldn't have lowered the bar any further if they'd used backhoes, yet the Democratic Party, with the fumble-fingered assistance of the DNC dunces, cannot seem to put the stake in the heart of these Ghoulish Old Perverts even as they mark the spot with a big 'X'. Never would I have guessed that our body politic was so extensively disease-ridden and corrupt, even after eight years of Dumbya and Darth Cheney and such pond scum as the governors of Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, and Alabama still walking around loose. Abysmal!
