Republican Beauty Pageant

I have decided to bring my Blog out of hibernation as the election season gets underway.

Republicans and Conservatives certainly have a choice coming up.  I separate the two groups because it seems that Republicans and Conservatives are growing apart instead of uniting to defeat the Democrats. But the election season is very young and as a Conservative it will be interesting to see who in the "Republican Beauty Pageant" will start getting traction. As of this date 17 are running with former governor Jim Gilmore just joining the pageant. I actually took the time to watch his 10 minute video today and was somewhat impressed.

But Gilmore only qualified for the JV team in the debate coming up tomorrow night at 5 PM eastern. The front runners, with 10 contestants will debut at 9 Pm eastern showcasing the winners of the pageant's first round. Center stage will feature "The Donald" who regardless of whether you agree with him or not, has won the title of "beauty" of this pageant...no not his hair. Political consultants are in a tizzy still trying to understand how he came out of nowhere to become the star of the pageant by a large margin They say he is arrogant, bombastic, "PT Barnum" of politics", and just a flash in the pan. Secretly the aides of the other participants in the pageant must be scared to death that their guy will get into it with the Trumpster and they probably have good reason to believe that.

So it should be an interesting set of debates tomorrow night, especially the main event. A beauty won't be crowned yet in this pageant but some will probably be asked to exit the stage very soon. Interesting political season coming up.

And look at what we have to look forward to - an "exciting" debate between Bernie the Socialist, Hillary the Liar, and maybe Joe the Gaff Machine. What a tough team to go up against.
