Watching Kasich giving his excuses this morning for teaming up with Cruz to throw designated states all in the effort to stop Trump was really infuriating. To say that I'm p*ssed right now is an understatement. I'm not p*ssed because I support Trump, I don't. I don't support any candidate on either side. No one is worthy of my vote this year. What infuriates me is that Kasich has always come across as being entitled to the Presidency. Furthermore, the fact that he now trust Cruz says A LOT about his lack of foresight, something a President needs in great abundance.

So, Kasich has been slamming Cruz for the past 6 months about how shady, sneaky and corrupt he is as a politician and yet, out of the blue he is going to trust Cruz now? Kasich loves to use stories in his Town-hall to make his point as to why people should vote for him. Either he has never heard of the Frog and the Scorpion story (or he is choosing to omit it), but there is a lot to learn from this tale. Once Kasich bails on Indiana for Cruz to lock up, he is in for a rude awakening when Cruz reneges on his promise to concede Oregon and New Mexico. Cruz will not step aside. It's in his nature to f*ck Kasich over even if winning those states does nothing to benefit him. It's in his DNA. It's his nature.....just like the Scorpion.

Why am I p*ssed? The fact that both candidates will do and say anything to get the White House at any cost, especially disenfranchising the voters is what is making my blood boil right now. Because both Cruz and Kasich have taken this route should immediately disqualify them from remaining in the race. They are not worthy and the voters have already spoken: WE DON'T WANT EITHER OF YOU STUPID DUMBF*CKS!!!! If it does go to an contested convention and it goes to Round 2, all bets are off and the RNC would already know that the bulk of Trump supporters will not vote. There will be no unification and if that is the state we end up in, then why would anyone decided to nominate either Cruz or Kasich? THEY WON'T!!! The RNC knows that their only option left would be for a 'White Knight', which Cruz and Kasich are too blind to see. IDIOTS!!!!!

One last thing. I said that no one has my vote and that I don't support anyone. That can change, but that one person is going to have to win me over and so far, no one has. I want to vote this year. I've never sat out the option of being able to vote for someone into the White House and I would like to keep that streak unbroken. But the way things are right now, I can't in good conscious vote for anyone that's left if I deem them more of a threat than someone that can actually bring good to the Oval Office.

Rant Over

I'm telling ya... I think lots of people are going to come to this a realization like yours, at the time gets closer. I'm in the same boat.

I was just reading this about this collaboration. It's obvious both are no longer under the illusion they have a chance (uh Bernie, you want to join this realization). To me, I think it's quite clear how the GOP is severely screwed up. They built this 'empire' and now don't know how to lead it, control it or even agree with it. Good luck with that.

I am so gonna hate this election.

A Cruz / Fiorina ticket. What a f*cking joke this is. What in any reality does picking someone that never broke 5% of the National Poll make sense? What exactly is she going to bring that's going to save him or this country. I'm laughing my ass off right now. Now just watch, Trump will drop a big announcement sometime today that will change the news cycle. My money is on Rubio endorsing Trump or something of that nature. Yes, I said Rubio. Now, with that said. Cruz needs to shut the f*ck up. He is rambling on for half an hour already talking about Fiorina. Now no longer laughing. Falling asleep.

Been watching the White House Correspondence Dinner tonight and OMG, Larry Wilmore was AWFUL! Seriously is was f*cking embarrassing of EPIC proportions. If you didn't catch it live, prepare to hear everyone commenting on how bad he was. I was expecting Larry to bring it and he failed. You could hear a pin drop through most of it. Even though I can't stand Obama, he was way funnier than Larry. He schooled a professional comic. The kicker was Larry dropping the N-Word toward Obama. Just stunned.

Ted Cruz in meltdown mode. That was fun to watch!!! This entire week has been a meltdown from his team up with Kasich, only to have it fall apart a few hours later. Cruz nominating Fiorina which turned out to be a punchline for Late Night and rightly so. Cruz confronting Trump supporters yesterday and being mocked to his face. Cruz watching Fiorina falling off the steps (which sums up his entire campaign). Cruz's Spanking comment directed at a 10 year kid. But watching him blow up just now was surreal. I really want him to get blown out of the water today in Indiana because I want him gone. I want him to drop out so I never have to listen to him....pontificate each and every thought of his. I never want to see that face again. EVER! Go away!!!!

I'm not worried about that. My money is on a 3rd Party run. Who that is? Don't know. I suspect that Mitt Romney will run as an "Independent" which I've always suspected was his plan. The other factor that will play into this is that Bernie Sanders is more likely to run as an Independent as well, which would definitely take a huge chunk of votes away from Clinton, which I'm all for. Whatever happens, this has been the nuttiest, most insane Presidential campaign I have ever witnessed and I may not even vote because there is no one I can support. Go figure. It's a wait and see for me. Who runs and if certain people can actually win me over and earn my vote.

Eh, both parties need a reboot anyway.  Proper Conservatives need a party of their own so they can cut apart from the tea party crazies, the liberals need a party to distinguish themselves from the sell-out lite-Republican Democrats, and the moderates need a party so they can have sensible candidates instead of the least objectionable options.

If there was an actual proper viable Conservative out there (not an obstructionist bathroom-controlling whiner) I could use for an example, I would give you a little mock-up.  But basically:

Conservative (Preservation?) Party: Conservative Carl, the hypothetical competent Republican
Grand Republican:  Trump, Palin, Crazy
Democratic:  Clinton, Obama, etc
Democratic Socialist:  Sanders, Trudeau and a fair amount of Europe

Honestly, the Republican Party is in such a shambles right now that if they want to remain viable, they should consider splitting.  How long can they hope to keep getting elected when they do NOTHING and fix nothing in an age where we need fast, decisive action?  The Democrats are so passionately split as well with the Sanders/Clinton divide that even if they do support Clinton if it comes to it, they won't feel any long-lasting debt to the party.  So that split is coming, I'm relatively sure, even if it doesn't happen before November.

This is sort of like the phone company breaking up, we kind of need it.  Politics is a monopoly, and we in America don't like them.  The parties are too big to fail, and much like the banks, it's the people who pay for it.
