Getting In The Race

THE G.O.P. FIELD is getting more entertaining by the day. the token republican African-American and the token republican woman candidate have now joined the show. The most entertaining is going to be Mike Huckabee. And he could be the winner. He has a gresat sense of humor, and does not come across as malicious when debating opponents. All of the half a dozxen candidates, and there are many more to come, want to avoid attacking each other, and go after Hillary and Obama, but that won't last long. Soon enough, all these upright, conservative christian types will be at each other's throats, and that's where the real fun begins. it is truly a far right aggregation of talent, farther right than we ahve seen in years, and the entry of Bernie Sanders on the democrat side adds a strong left wing component to the 1916 presidential campaign. Most of these republicans want to eliminate the I.R.S. and the federal income tax, eliminate or fail to raise minimum wage, eliminate the federal reserve, and eliminate all federal bureaucracy related to education, human welfare, or the environment. That might not be the best formula for winning a national election these days.
