Might as well go there, Tom, since we no longer have a true reference to the polis Sam alludes to. The clown the Rs ultimately brought us from their dozen or so Clown Car options available is exactly the type of man Aristotle warned us about.

Talk about "outside the polis"! This is the best you could do? Really?

Hoo boy!

When this sucker finally totally blows up in our faces I think instead of just defaulting to Pence we deserve a "do-over" election. But before that, (cue fantasy music) we should round up everyone who voted for Trump, "A Clockwork Orange" style, plunk 'em down in theaters all over the country, and force them to watch every second of every Republican "debate" from the 2016 comedy of errors they forced us to sit through.  If anyone flatlines during the show EMTs with paddles will bring 'em back.

"CLEAR!"

Maybe then we won't have to suffer another embarassment like this.

Maybe then the world will stop pointing its finger and laughing at us.

Hey, I can dream . . .
