The Next Time Ted Cruz Hacks Me Off
I’m scampering right here to voice my concern.
Remember: in space no one can hear you scream.
Thanks to John Oliver and Deb for the heads up.

Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Women are seemingly more verbal, while we neanderthals prefer a more direct approach. This is my mind balm, when Daffy Cruz, Jr. pretends to be relevant:

1PKM – As my husband would say, “Who’s a GOOD dog!”
2Hate to say this, JJ, but we may have Cruz around for longer than we had expected. Work out the way the various collapses and withdrawals will work,
3‘
Bush is a goner, so much so he’s no longer worth wasting an exclamation point on. And Trump has, seemingly, gotten tired of whatever game he’s been playing — or he’s discovered that self-funding actually means paying for things, that he can’t keep turning all the news and comedy shows into his own commercials. He seemed like he was already tired when he appeared on that show hosted by whoever it is wearing the Colbert suit — that’s not the REAL Steven, or the real fake Steven, or something.
‘
Which means there aree a lot of voters, money, and endorsements looking for new homes. I expect Bush’s people will take a look at Carly Ananias, but her lies are getting too much publicity. (Tom Cotton had shown you could win a small state with those techniques, but who was paying attention? But watch out for Cotton in 2020 — he might even be the obvious VP pick this year.)
‘
But the Bushes are as clannish and protective as the Clintons are supposed to be. (I still think the main reason for the Iraq war was that “Saddam tried to kill my Daddy” more than oil, terrorism, or — non-existent — WMDs.) I had expected their people would shift to Rubio, but Jeb’s hatred of his protégé is getting too obvious to ignore, and he may keep his friends from supporting the only possibly *shudder* electable candidate the Republicans have. They won’t go for the real crazies, but they also won’t give Rubio a base to fight them. Kasich is too sane for them — not saying much here — and Christie is too tarnished by his too public scandals, so I have no idea where they go. (A new entrant? I;ve been expecting someone else to join the race, but not sure who.)
‘
But it’s the Trump vote that will be the key. The obvious place for them to go is something like 70% Carson, 15% Carly, and the rest split between Cruz and Huck.
‘
But Carson is really even crazier than Trump, and has been ‘un-politic’ enough to let his name be used on the cover of a reprint of a book by W. Cleon Skousen. (The inspirer of Glenn beck, among others.) And Skousen is so crazy even the National Review condemned him, and the John Birch society, while using him as a speaker, never let him be an official member.
‘
Carson’s craziness would have sunk him eventually, but the Skousen endorsement will open the portholes even faster. A few quotes from Skousen, a reminder that Shousen — a Mormon — called the people attempting to get Mormons to allow blacks as ministers ‘Communist dupes,’ and a mention that Skousen said that ‘boys should be warned that masturbation leads to homosexuality’ and Republicans will be running away in droves. And there were a lot of people whose support for Carson was based on nothing but ‘outsider, brain surgeon, and soft-spoken nice man.’
‘
Republicans don’t, literally, dare to nominate Carson, which leaves the 40% of Republicans supporting Trump and Carson with two places to go, Cruz and Huckabee.
‘
I won’t guess who will be around by convention time, but I expect the first multi-ballot convention since 1952, and Ted the Slimy will be still a major candidate.
Well, dogs do tend to go where they smell something foul….
4I wondered why Raphael seemed to smell TRump’s butt during one of the debates.
5PKM, thanks for the visual. Dogs really are quite intelligent!
6The Repugs don’t have a viable candidate no matter who they try to push on the electorate. This election is the Democrats’ to lose, so we have to unite behind one strong candidate and get out the vote
7Shh, don’t tell anyone but once upon a time I had an invisible dog. Whenever somebody hacked me off I could imagine my invisible Fido magically invading their space, finding a favorite shoe and then pooping in it! Fido did me a world of good. Did not have to throw anything at the TV set.
