Because if so, I’m pretty sure I’d vote for him or her.

Because I’ve freaking had it. I’m tired of the comparisons we always hear between the US and every other developed country in the world about gun deaths. I’m tired of the gun lobby always managing to shut down conversations in the wake of whatever the latest tragedy was because that’s never the time to discuss getting rid of guns.

Not control. Getting gøddámņ rid of them. Done. Finished. Overturn the Second Amendment or else add an amendment that requires EVERY gun owner to be in a government regulated militia, which was the point of the dámņëd thing in the first place. I swear, if I ran for President, I would run on that sole platform and see just how much of an organized anti-gun lobby we can get rolling.

UPDATE: 2:58 PM. Just to save us some time from the people who aren’t getting it, I will be taking the unusual step of disemvoweling any further comments that disagree. Just to make it abundantly clear that I’ve stopped giving a dámņ about their opinions. And several blindingly insulting comments, I’ve already trashed.

Trump is currently polling at something like twenty-four to twenty-six percent. That means that three quarters of Republicans don’t want any part of him. As various GOP candidates drop out, the voters will head toward other politicians. And I am reasonably sure that those remaining seventy-five percent are not insane, so they will probably gravitate toward Jeb Bush.

There is no way that Trump will be the GOP nominee. None. His entire candidacy is media driven BS.
