Trump=The Ultimate R "Run Gov Like a Biz" Candidate

What have we heard since the time of Raygun? "Government should be run like a business."

Well, the Rs finally got their wish, the ultimate shitheaded, lying business mogul who they have been telling us for decades is the kind of person the country needs is now their nominee for president.

It's taken them close to 40 years, but they have finally put forth the ultimate personification of what it truly means to run our government with businessmen: Donald Trump.

If you thought Sam Brownback's business-über-alles Kansas was a disaster, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

When the Republicans find part of the government that really does run like a business - Medicare, Social Security Administration, the Post Office, Amtrak - they always want to close it or privatize it, but they'll settle for hamstringing it.

Everything he touches turns to dog shit. If he didn't have a rich daddy, he would be pumping gas in rural Oklahoma

I think most, if not all of them were on the worst 10 list IIRC.
