The Running of the Bulls(hitters)

IT SEEMS CLEAR that the Democrats don't really want to take back the White House. Maybe they prefer being able to complain about whoever is in the Oval Office, which right now is Donald Trump and apparently after the next election will still be Donald Trump. How else to explain the idiocy of all those political nobodies who have thus far -- and it's still way early -- declared their candidacy? I'll try to name them, despite never hearing of most of them before they decided to run for the highest office in the land.

There's a congresswoman from Hawaii named Tulsi Gabbard and a young man named Julian Castro who seems very earnest, although a bit wet behind the ears. There's that Kristen Jillibrand or however you spell it who is hateful to the max and called Justice Brett Kavanaugh a rapist as many times as she could during those hearings. And of course Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren: who alive hasn't heard of her and how she lied about being part Native American to get into college and then garner minority votes since then?

Also in the running are a couple of totally bland men I never heard of and whose names I forgot immediately so I looked them up. One is Richard Ojeda, a retired politician whose main platform rests on being a tattooed former paratrooper and John Delaney, a Maryland congressman who plans to be a "unifier." (Lots of luck with that, John.)

And let's not forget the Two Grampas: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, they should live so long. And that Beto guy who is the "cool" one in cowboy boots and rolled-up sleeves, sort of a combination George W. Bush and Barack Obama. A few others, like Kamala Harris, Michael Bloomberg and Cory Booker (oh please) are also making noises.

You'd think the party leaders, Ma and Pa Kettle (see photo), would circle the wagons and come up with a plan, but instead it's a free-for-all stampede of presidential wannabes.

Those political debates are truly going to be some "must-see TV."
