NEW REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES: Part 1 Mar 4, 2016
Today, March 4th, is originally the day of US inaugural addresses, before it was changed to Jan. 20th (I believe during the FDR administration).  So since today is so special, and since the republicans are in a civil war (that party is no stranger to civil wars.  Ask Lincoln) I figured it's time to recruit some previous republican candidates for alternative primary elections, that would be more realistic than the current fantasy primaries we're having.

Please welcome the former republican presidents, from the annals of the 20th century and the dawn of the 21st: 

Theodore Roosevelt:  I have a stick!

William Howard Taft:  I'm fat, yall!

Dwight Eisenhower:  Can I run against a someone serious?

Richard Nixon:  Pardon me?

Gerald Ford:  I'd like to be elected, for a change.

Ronald Wilson Reagan:  Stop calling me Bonzo!

George H. W. Bush:  Get me a parachute!

George W. Bush:  I was misunderestimatedededed

And....  just because I can resurrect the dead...  a final addition of the only candidate who was never a president, and never ran:

Antonin Scalia:  Vote for me, young people!  I voted to let you play GTA!

Come on, people!  Who should quit the primaries?

Trump and Breitbart Feb 29, 2016
Two important events take place tomorrow.  One is Super Tuesday, an election event that may seal the primaries.  The other is the anniversary of the death of Andrew Breitbart. 

Here is what Breitbart had to say about Donald Trump

When your allies forget to show up Feb 28, 2016
So I had two games recently that ended in an unexpected way.  One (or more) of the allies forgot to show up!!!

The first case was me.  I didn't show up.  It was a fasting, and since I wasn't sure who to nominate, and had a small crisis on my hand, I decided to take care of it and come back later to vote.  Well, I missed the train, and one of my allies was kicked outa there!  Our alliance was crushed!  Luckily though, I ended up in the final 3 (everyone on both alliances was either inactive or evicted). 

And today, it happened AGAIN.  Two members of my alliance went missing, and a smaller group kicked our asses. 

The lesson?  Vote when you can!  And stay in the game!

I'm seriously worried about the Trump victories.  I'm not an American, but I care about this country a great deal, and in the past decade and a half have gradually been converted to the right.  Now, I won't get into the reasons I'm on the right, but I'll just say that I obviously believe that a lot of the bad things that are said about the right are false.

Then Trump arrived.

The problem with Trump is that he turns all of the negative stereotypes about the right into a reality.  Suddenly a bunch of racists on facebook use the term "cuckservative", a deragatory term meant to mock mainstream conservatives.  This is bad.  One of the two biggest political parties in the US is slowly being taken over by rubes.  I know that Bush was attacked the same way, but I believe the attacks on him were wrong.  Trump is a true danger to the party and, if elected, to the republic.
