"Donald Trump, you are a snivelling coward"! Words from Ted (I'm not a Canadian) Cruz this afternoon while campaigning in Wisconsin ahead of this weeks primary in that state. Cruz went on to say to the Donald, "It's not easy to tick me off. I don't get angry often, but you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time. Donald, you are a snivelling coward and leave Heidi the hell alone." This latest tirade in response to the Donald re-tweeting a set of photos, one of his wife, former fashion model Melania, and the other a less than flattering photo of Ted's wife Heidi. It was the caption "A picture is worth a thousand words" that got Cruz in a lather.
WTF!?? What the hell is going on? Where is this going? Are these kids running for Leader of the Pack, or the leader of their country? Okay, initially I thought it was going to be fun having great comic material from the Republican Presidential Candidates, who aren't even actual candidates yet. I did say these are the halcyon days for political satire. I poked fun at the missteps, misquotes and mistakes by and from those representing the Republican Party who wish to rule the kingdom of these United States of America. I have written of the contrast between the GOP race and that of the sometimes feisty yet boring dust-ups between Bernie and Hillary on the Democrat side of the house. But this latest twist in the already embarrassing Republican race takes us into uncharted waters, even for comedians and satirists.
"You are a snivelling coward"! Whoa! What's next, a challenge to a duel? Pistols at 40 paces? No wait, that would be too respectable. No, I think to settle this latest tiff Donald and Ted will mud wrestle. No, better yet, at the recommendation of Duck Dynasty fans who through social media, voted 102,346 to 46 for Donald and his wife Melania, and Ted and his wife Heidi to tag team mud wrestle. All 4 will wear thongs and tear-away T-shirts that will be emblazoned with the words "My wife is prettier than yours"! 6 Delegates will be up for grabs in this winner take all event. This might even set a standard for future contests in order to avoid the lack of Polling Stations like in Arizona last week. That is another story altogether. Arizona, shame on you! No, you can't make this shit up. Really, you just can't!
Yes, I have to admit that this is far better than "ambulance chasing". However, the more I follow America's shame, ah, for anyone not following me I am indeed referring to the 2016 GOP race for the nomination as candidate for President, I am beginning to feel an actual need or even desire for information. There are a lot of great sporting events going on around the world. Pro cycling in Italy, Spain and Belgium. PGA World Match Play in the U.S. NCAA men's basketball "March Madness". Yet when I get up in the morning what do I look at first? NPR, CBC, then the New York Times. I look to see who said what in the GOP race. Then after I am satisfied that I have all the information I am craving I check to see if Alberto Contador won the current stage in the race in Spain, or if Kansas knocked off Duke.
Oh boy! We are witnessing history. We are shocked yet we can't get enough. We swear that we are done paying attention, then we eat up the latest information as if it were Tillamook Mudslide ice-cream and we just finished an 80k hard effort on the bike. Best take a deep breath, and let it out very slowly. Another one...... There. Better. I fear the best is yet to come. No, I'm not making that up.
