Auld Lang Syne

April sixteenth marked 151 years since the death of Abraham Lincoln. It occurs to me that his party lasted about a hundred years after his death. Barry Goldwater's ascendance and Nixon's 'Southern Strategy' pretty much did the trick. Everything since then has been the writhing of a mortally wounded beast.

Not a Winner

  Tonight, Donald Fucking Trump lost the Wisconsin primary. The analysts seem to agree that it is now highly unlikely that he will be able to wrap up the nomination before the convention. A contested convention is a convention that Captain Comb-over cannot win. Ahhh. I had to savor that thought, but there are questions still. Does Trump incite violence at the convention? Does the Trumposaurus* go rogue, and run as a spoiler? Does Donald Fucking Trump learn a little humility and see the convention as a chance to grow as a human being? I'll bet two out of three, if anyone's asking.

*Trumposaurus: Picture Trump's big, ugly head on a T-Rex body. Because: small hands.
