My fingers are crossed. Would love to have a national conversation about how he destroyed Wisconsin.

It's a Republican fun run. Most participants don't expect to win or even place.

Buahahahahah!

Is there any difference between Party and Ideology??

Michale

Is there any real difference between a party slave and an ideological slave?

I just LOVE how you split hairs based on your political ideology...

But, I am willing to wager a million quatloos that, if it was the Demcorat Party that had all the diversity and the GOP had just a handful of old white people, you would be making the EXACT same argument I am making. :D

That's the nice thing about not being a Party slave... :D

When Piyush comes to shove was very good indeed. If they ever make a documentary movie about Jindal, that would be an awesome title. You might want to grab the web domain.

Let's see, there are 4 formal Democratic contenders for the nomination.

Clinton is a woman (Why...won't...this...wig...come off???!!!)
Sanders is a Jew

O'Malley and Chafee are old white guys.

Score Dem diversity at 50%

Formally announced Republicans.

Carson, black
Jindal, Indian descent
Cruz and Rubio, Cuban descent
Fiorina, woman

Bush, Graham, Huckabee, Pataki, Paul and Santorum are clearly old white guys.

Trump and Perry seem to fall within what is considered "normal" intellectual capability, so I score them as OWG as well.

Score GOP diversity as 4/12 = 33%

Even if you accept Trump and Perry as diverse by virtue of being somewhat intellectually challenged, it's a tie!

What was your point again? :-)

:-)

Yer simply a man before your time.. :D

I actually missed it the first time around..

Michale

:D

I know you already acknowledged what I said was factual..

I just couldn't resist the opportunity to throw in an ATQ... :D

Michale

Nobody liked "When Piyush Comes To Shove"??

Hey, I thought it was funny...

:-)

In THAT regard, the GOP is the Diversity Party and the Democrat Party is the Party of Old White People...

Yes or no??

"Can you explain it, Captain? Yes or No.."

Michale

But you can NOT deny that the GOP has diversity and the Democrat Party is the Party of old white people..

Among presidential aspirants without a change in Hell of winning the nomination, let alone winning the Presidency, I take your point. But in terms of current office holders, your assertion is bogus.

The current POTUS is a minority, and he's a Democrat.

A bumper crop of minorities in the House O' Reps, but wait a tick, virtually none have an R after their name.

The Senate. Well it's still a white male club. Of the 20 women, 6 are Republicans. Of the 3 black senators, one is tagged R.

If we are counting coup, how many political wannabes equal somebody who wins actual power?

Oooo! A "Father Ted" reference! You win my comment of the day award!

When in Ireland, I got a T-shirt with the image of Father Jack and "DRINK!" on it...

It's going to be Walker...

Michale

Grrrrrr

But you can NOT deny that the GOP has diversity and the Democrat Party is the Party of old white people...

Michale

But you can deny that the GOP has diversity and the Democrat Party is the Party of old white people...

Apparently, THAT is a bad thing when it's on the Right side of the aisle.... :^/

Michale

" I think the entire GOP party is running."

It's a Republican fun run. Most participants don't expect to win or even place. Exercise and a t-shirts are the goals. Spurred on by family and well wishers shouting "you're all winners!" Sponsored by Fox News, ALEC and the Chamber of Commerce.

CW- 2016, the year nobodies ran. I think another snark exemption is called for.

Oh, by the by, HuffPo is headlining that O'Care made it past the Supremes.

I'm rooting for "The Donald".

I think it's great that Jindal is running. It's a chance for every media outlet in America to talk about how he destroyed the Louisiana economy.

Walker's time in the spotlight is over. Chicago Tribune just ran a piece about his corrupt jobs agency (also known as Scott Walker's personal handout corporation).

Looking more like Rubio/Bush. I think John Kasich will make a surprise come-from-behind appearance before it's through too.

Ya'all just GOT to appreciate the irony... :D

Michale

You know, I've been thinking about adding a line to one of these articles saying "when we look back from the perspective of history, the 2016 GOP primary race will probably be known as 'that time when EVERYone ran.'"

:-)

That's a shame. Apparently, some of the people that India sends aren't bad. He might be the one who could cut into the Dem advantage on immigration if he did a better job of highlighting his anchor baby to governor story. Instead, history will sort of remember him as the answer to a trivia question - one of the fake candidates who finished behind The Donald's Make America Fake Again campaign.
