Wow! What are we going to do? We guess that everyone should buy a tarp to protect themselves from all the bullshit that&#8217;s being propelled by the media, who are actually giving credibility to this con job. But then again this is Con-a-thon 2016. What else should we expect?<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans are masters of propaganda and the art of the con. They&#8217;ve learned their lessons from 2012 and 2008. That&#8217;s why they&#8217;ve got the clown car filled with sixteen candidates; just enough flavor-of-the-months to get through to November 2016. In case you haven&#8217;t figured it out, the GOP establishment, mainly the Koch Brothers, have decided that Jeb Bush and Scott Walker are the best candidates. So to protect these guys from actual scrutiny, they&#8217;ve got fourteen other candidates to sacrifice themselves for the Republican cause by saying outrageous statements that make the other guys in the clown car appear to be sane. Donald Trump is just the first. Do you honestly think &#8216;the Donald&#8217; will be selected to be the standard bearer for the Republican party?\u00a0 It looks like Mike Huckabee could be the second with his statements about <a title=\"Obama: Huckabee\u2019s comments on Iran deal typical of GOP\u2019s \u2018inflammatory remarks\u2019\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-politics\/wp\/2015\/07\/27\/obama-huckabees-comments-on-iran-deal-typical-of-gops-inflammatory-remarks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Obama putting the Jews in the oven<\/a> with the Iran deal. We know from 2012 that Rick &#8216;the Dick&#8217; Santorum is good for several months worth of spewing forth crap and Chris Christie is chock full of hot air. Just look at him for Pete&#8217;s sake! And then there&#8217;s Rick Perry, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul&#8230;it&#8217;s a cornucopia of blithering insanity. But in the end, the Republicans will put another Bush on the ticket and America will be stuck with another media anointed Bush-Clinton election. Freedom of choice in America? The Con is On!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4207\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4207\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?attachment_id=4207\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4207\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4207\" title=\"trumprepublicanclownscon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumprepublicanclownscon.jpg\" alt=\"Donald Trump's outrageous statements about immigrants, John McCain and breastfeeding women make the other candidates in the Republican clown car appear sane.\" width=\"500\" height=\"368\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumprepublicanclownscon.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumprepublicanclownscon-300x220.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Donald Trump&#39;s outrageous statements about immigrants, John McCain and breastfeeding women make the other candidates in the Republican clown car appear sane.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So Donald Trump, fresh from his comments on breastfeeding women, is the front runner of the Republican party with a meager 15 months left before the elections?
