Keeping Track Of Number One And Number Two


In his continuing series "Nuremberg Comes To...", here's your Republican "presidential" front- runner, in Michigan:
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Donald Trump used vulgar language as he attacked Hillary Clinton during a rally on Monday night, saying her use of the restroom at the last Democratic debate was "too disgusting" to talk about and that in 2008 she got "schlonged" by Barack Obama when he defeated her in the Democratic primary.

Standing before a crowd of 7,500, Trump recounted how Clinton was seconds late to the Democratic debate stage on Saturday night following a commercial break. Trump asked the crowd four times where Clinton had gone.
Then the drooling dimwits cheered!
"I know where she went -- it's disgusting, I don't want to talk about it," Trump said, screwing up his face, as the crowd laughed and cheered. "No, it's too disgusting. Don't say it, it's disgusting."
Rump would certainly know disgusting when he sees it, every morning in the mirror and looking out at his crowds.

No doubt after a few "Sieg heils!", the slack- jawed crowd goose-stepped home.

In the meantime, let's see what the very slimy number 2 (yes) Sen. "Tailgunner Ted" Cruz has been up to:
Conservative Christian activists whose support has been hotly pursued by Republican presidential candidates have begun to quietly coalesce around Sen. Ted Cruz — a major boost for his efforts to present himself as the leading challenger to front-runner Donald Trump.
Members of this core GOP constituency have long been torn between several favorites in the party’s crowded field. But many organization leaders have decided in recent days to line up behind Cruz (Tex.) because they consider him the best-funded and most electable social conservative in the race, according to several participants in the discussions.  [snip]
Since the Dec. 7 meeting, endorsements have been announced by influential figures such as James Dobson, a radio host who founded Focus on the Family; Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage; and Bob Vander Plaats, head of the Iowa Family Leader organization.
The next gathering will take place a few days after Christmas at a remote ranch in central Texas, where Cruz, his wife and several key financial backers will visit with some of the country’s most prominent evangelical leaders for private conversations and a public rally.  [snip]
Participants said the effort was organized in part by Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, who has long urged Christian conservatives to pick a consensus presidential candidate early in the nomination process.  (our emphasis)
Well, he certainly is working to corner the market on the Southern Poverty Law Center's designated hate groups.  It was a ("traditional") marriage made in heaven: the evangelical "Christian" snake oil salesmen and Cruz, the political snake oil salesman.

So, to summarize:  the front- runner is a neo- fascist, nitwit, misogynist demagogue, and the number 2 (yes again) is a theocratic, hate- group pursuing, smarmy demagogue.  What a choice, Republicans!

BONUS:  No surprise to anyone with a pulse and a brain, Rump's the most disgusting Liar of the Year, or of any other year.
