Unconventional
I have been trying to write a blog entry about the GOoPer convention and failed.
My heart is not in it.
They are not even worth mocking anymore.
I am impressed by a number of standard GOP people who have taken a pass on attending.
It is a bit satisfying on the schadenfreude side of things to see how clunky the whole thing has been.
But as a preview of any possible Administration, it is kind of horrifying.
These clowns can't even handle the candidate's wife's speech without stumbling.
It is all a clown show.
I picture the wife as the First Lady and my mind falters.
There has been a lot of "inside baseball" in the reporting. The "what really happened" kind. And I don't think that is very good either. It all reads like a reality show that has gone too far.
So, there has been radio silence from here. Not out of respect. Just out of plain dismay and disbelief.
I watched poor old Bob Dole trying to make a good face over it. He is, as they say, failing. But he is canny enough to see the mess that is being made of his Party.
It is too soon to imagine what the Party will look like after defeat of a the monumental proportion I hope for.
Or maybe I will have egg on my face and have to lick it off.
