The GOoPers look like Democrats.

By this I mean that they have become a party of many disparate parts. All the kings horses and all the kings men will have to put Dumbty together again. They need a hero.

Let us count the ways they are divided.

Start with Jeb, the possible last of the Bushies but it is a deep bench. He is out of office and has been for awhile. And that was Florida. Enough said.

Then there is Christy. Still fat. There has not been a fat President since Taft. I don't mean to disparage. But the image is bad. And he is a loudmouth sure to get himself into trouble which, in fact, he already is. Have you seen him speak? A little sweaty.

I know. These are going to be Ad hominem comments but then this is politics. You put yourself out there. Brother of a dubious clan or fat. They have no policies.

Next? Mike Huckabee, a born again racist in the old mold. He used to be seen swinging to the center but now, not so much. Mike Fuckabee. Not much else to say. He draws on his cornpone accent and good ol' boy character. Slim chances among the Republican elite. Not our kind. Hickabee. Although, more and more the elite are the "not our kind" Republicans.

Rand Paul. Like father like son? A battle he may not be able to win. Oedipal stuff. Tagged with the sins of the old man. He is fighting hard to shake it though. Without shaking the inherent support for the family from the nut cases who got them started. Also, Rand is suspect by the elite. I, personally, think he might be the sexiest of them. The curly hair is an asset. To whom, I am not certain. He has worked very hard to get African-Americans behind him. But how many Afro-GOoPers are there?

Ted Cruz. Oh my god, Ted Cruz. What to say here? He is so far out in right field and is very not known. That is worse than being unknown. He sill suffer under the microscope.

Then there is the perennial. The Mittster. Mitt Romney. Would they dare to try it again? He is still out there beating the bushes. He has a name. There are some people down the street who still have the stickers on their car. Even the Obamas have taken theirs off. We don't have one anymore. But that one went with the car traded in.

So: Bush, Christy, Huckabee, Paul, Cruz, and Romney. I am not quaking in my boots yet.

Oh. Did I mention that we have Hillary running again? And Webb. He is thinking of challenging the Clinton machine.

We all have our shit about Hillary and nothing is inevitable in politics, but hands down she has to beat all those elephant people.
