No link yet...breaking news.



In a stunning upset to the run-up for 2016's Presidential election, the Republicans announced today that they plan to run Ann Romney's dancing horse, Rafalca, as their candidate.

"I always knew a Romney would be in the oval office one day," remarked Ms. Romney.

Newly-minted House Majority Leader Paul Ryan told CNN reporters "The best part of this is that there is nothing in writing that says we can't do this. There is nothing in the laws that govern our great land that specifically prohibits selecting a dancing horse as the Republican Presidential nominee."

When asked about a Rafalca / Clinton or Rafalca / Sanders race, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus commented "We're in. It's that simple. This will be a cake-walk to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave."

1. Better a horse

than a horse's ass like Trump

[meow2u3]

11. Amen!

Couldn't have said it better.

AFAIC, Trump belongs behind bars for stirring up trouble, but that would be if I were a benevolent dictator.

2. change of tradtion

It would probably be better than nominating a horse's ass.

3. She's only 18

And from past experience she may have reservations about the Romneys flying her to all those campaign appearances...

8. You scored again, my friend...

that's one I haven't seen.

18. Rafalca's old enough to vote, but not run for any office

Unless horse years count, and that's not likely to happen.

I'd run my cat for President if I could, but that's not gonna happen.

4. Hey, if Caligula can put his horse in the Senate...

... then Rafalca should be able to run for President. Although as Pinboy points out, she's only 18. What is that in horse years?

Presuming she's not an Arab, of course.

7. I can see the campaign slogan now...

"Barn to Lose"

9. I wonder if the Secret Service would have to draw straws...

...to decide which agent would be responsible for following directly behind President Rafalca?

10. I was going to make a comment about W but I don't think DU has a metaphor warning smilie

[meow2u3]

12. One of these might do the trick in less time

[jmowreader]

14. If Rafalca is a Republican, this is the correct shovel

[meow2u3]

15. DUzy!

[lindysalsagal]

13. SNL: "The off-stage cough at the RNC debate was polling @6%, 3% ahead of Jeb!"

[Vinca]

16. Rafalca's got one thing going for him. Most people like horses.

Can't say the same about the GOP clown bus candidates.

[meow2u3]

17. Yes, there IS something written in the Constitution that won't let Rafalca run

She's too young! You have to be 35 to run for President, regardless of species, and 35 in horse years doesn't count unless Queen Ann plans on lying about Rafalca's age!
