The Republican Party: They're just gonna get stupider

In 2008, when the party went full birther, with their ridiculous "Obama is a secret Muslim who is going to send white people to FEMA death camps and declare Sharia Law" b.s. (bot to mention the pick of Nailin' Palin as the VP), some people said, "In 2012 the Republicans are going to get serious, and act like the party of grown-ups."

I said, "No, they are just gonna get stupider."

In 2012, when the Republican Primaries turned into a total clown show, with Michele "I swear my husband isn't gay" Bachman and Herman "Nine! Nine! Nine!" Cain leading at times, where ol' Niggerhead Ranch Perry showed up to a debate drunk and forgot what his policies were, where during one Republican debate the crowd booed a soldier who asked a question about Don't Ask, Don't Tell(and not a single candidate stuck up for the guy whose Commander-in-Chief they wanted to be), where we witnessed the absurdity of Mitt Romney apologizing for Romneycare (which left his state leading the country in healthcare) to Rick Perry (whose state is one of the worst states for healthcare), not to mention the 47% comment, talk of "self-deportation", and Romney only getting the nomination by going against everything he had ever stood for, some people said, "In 2016 the Republicans won't make the same mistakes. They will run a strong field of intelligent candidates who will show the country they aren't a bunch of know-nothing bigots."

I said, "No, they are just gonna get stupider."

Now they have nominated former host of the Apprentice (and three-decade-long pop culture punchline) Donald Trump. He beat out a guy who bragged that women "came out of their kitchens" to vote for him (Kasich), two guys who are on record saying the Bible should take precedence over Federal law (Jindal and Huckabbee), a guy who lied about being an attempted murderer and who thinks the pyramids are grain silos (Carson), a man whose name is synonymous with post-anal sex butt froth (Santorum), and the Zodiac Killer (Cruz). And already I hear people saying, "If he loses, the party will have to get serious, and they will run better candidates in 2020 who can show people that the party really is smart, and really does want to be inclusive."

I say, "No, they are just gonna get stupider."

My money for 2020 says they nominate a chimp who knows how to say ethnic slurs in sign language.
