Thank goodness, the opening comedy - buffoonery, rather - act seems to be getting over in the Republican presidential nomination contest. His 15 minutes were up anyway. The contest is still likely to be a comedy festival, unless some sanity prevails.

Watching the Republican 'debate'.
Best entertainment on TV!

10/13/2015:
Watching the Democratic debate.
Only one grown up among the kids tippy toeing to the cookie jar, and that happens to be a woman.
Chafee shouldn't have been let out of his KG classroom unsupervised. Webb, the elementary school kid, probably had some bad dreams about the Chinese dragons, so was fixated on that one country. O'Malley was too much me-too er, latching onto most statements coming from Clinton or Sanders. Sanders could be OK, if only was less grouchy, less professorial and less dreamy... remember this is an election for a President?
She needs to survive the Benghazi hearings... and watch out for a dark horse named Biden... who may decide after all he stayed in the stables for far too long!

So, the unthinkable is now the reality!
Fringe and freak seem to be ruling the day - two days to be precise, one in Iowa and one in New Hampshire. Yes, the people may wake up in South Carolina and eventually by the Super-Tuesday... but then again, can't count on the slumbering masses.
One wonders at times, if the Republicans are fighting to be the Presidential candidate, or for the high-school competition to out-spook each other... and the world. Both the leading contenders would win handsomely in the latter. Blessed are the ignorant who believe the complex Middle-East issues can be solved by carpet bombing (ever heard of Vietnam?) and the complex financial problems can be solved by 'better management'. Even the Wharton MBA program doesn't claim to produce magicians!
On the Democratic side, equally juvenile mentality running amuck. Any pie in the sky scheme only needs to be spelled out to be considered the plan. The Twitter generation babes, with attention span of 150 words or less, are cheering on the septuagenarian with his head in the clouds.
Is that all we have - cartoon characters running to be presidential nominees? Well, ... um ... there is this one sober, mature, experienced person... but ... you see, the credibility is questionable.
We'll take it! We'll take it!!
What a relief to elect a true-blooded politician who may not keep her word. After all, the bigger fear with the others is that they may keep theirs!
