I will never understand why his candidacy wasn't over the day he mocked a disabled reporter.  Any other candidate -- even another Republican -- would have been hounded out of the race within two days.
The Right had been programmed to believe anything was better than Clinton.

Yep, Clinton was a victim of the right-wing hate machine - for 30 years! No wonder people hate her.

And tautologically, in English, they are right ;-)

And they've been told they are right so often that they no longer even try to consider if that's true.

Repetition is habit forming, so the Catholic nuns tell me ;-)

What do nuns form their habits from? Phlogiston?

Being serious ... The Liturgy of Hours.  That is why we have clocks, so that the monks and nuns can pray at the same time.

So the Egyptians who built clocks were just undercover Catholics?

The clepsydra was Greek, so was Alexandria.  The first modern clock, that only showed hours, was built in Europe in the Middle Ages.  Before that, nobody needed to know what time it was other than sunrise and sunset.

Pope Sylvester II was the only Pope to be a scientist ... educated at a Muslim university in Morocco, rumored to worship the Devil!

On apocalypse ... people love their doom porn ;-(  Particularly when Sylvester II was Pope (in year 2000).

They lived in Egypt. I didn't lift any skirts to find out who they really were.

Well, they had what, fourteen other choices?  And they still went with the one that makes Sarah Palin look comparatively coherent.  I mean, I'm no fan of my governor (Kasich), but I wouldn't have the feeling of existential dread were it he being inaugurated in two weeks.  My attitude would be more along the lines of, "Well, the next four years are gonna suck" rather than "Are we even going to make it through the next four months?"

I'm convinced the reason Asshole got a pass from day one is because the media needs him.  Not for any political or policy reasons, but because they know he's going to be a 24x7 freak show.  They need him for the advertising money they can charge for the news programs that cover the Embarrassment-In-Chief.  And they don't give a sideways lubeless fuck with a brick over the damage he's going to cause, so long as it's a circus and puts butts in seats watching the unfolding disaster.

Wasn't it Stephen Colbert who challenged him to run?

Why does it have to be competitive? Just leave it out and see who's looking.
