I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

For all those Republican Primary voters who watch CNN.

It might help Ramaswamy, but I'm not convinced that a non-white person can win the GOP primary.

Well that and the fact he is a nobody and rather cringey to listen to.

So the first GOP Also-Ran Debate was held and not even one post here. I guess that shows the irrelevance without Trump.

8 candidates is not a debate...it is a glorified and mildly spicy press conference.

You assholes are going to elect trump again, aren't you?

If you are into trashy, reality TV, there is better programming.

I dont know. They desperately want to show they're not racist..so he may be the guy. Face it he is quite electable, can appeal to a strong young demographic. I mean, him v. Biden?

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It's not like we dodged that bullet by a mile.  I remember losing at least 5 years of my life to stress that election night, because the electoral college math was way too close then and still wound up way too close.

I read that when asked whether climate change had anything to do with fossil fuels, not one of them raised his/her hand.

I should be numbed to his by now, but I still find it shocking.

I don't think any of them are that stupid.  But the people whose votes they are courting are, and so they all have to lie.  It's a shame.
