I was cooking and had to leave the kitchen [View all]

Sarah's godawful voice, and her more than godawful folksy stupidity made me want to throw up before I could even eat.
I had to get away to gather my wits and calm my stomach lining. The Germans have an expression "standing like an oil slicked buddha" (herumstehen wie ein Ölgötze) and that is what the Donald reminds me of standing beside her and the smirky slick weirdness of his expression as she does her antics shows me clearly that he knows she is full of it and simply wants to make herself important again.

What have we come to? I would not have believed this scenario even a year ago.
The Republican party is on a path to not only self destruct, but to look at it's remnants and debris from the bottom up.
YUCK
