"What A Bag Of Walnuts"

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works. And this is the guy who wants young people to pass a civics exam before exercising the franchise. What a bag of walnuts. https://t.co/gu3qkSpFCy

Ali Vitali (I think it was) on MSNBC this morning described Nikki Haley was being the "adult in the room" during the recent GOP "debate." Ramaswamy was certainly the class clown. I checked, and yes, he does have a law degree. From Yale. Who should probably ask for it back.

First of all, you haven't been in The Show long enough to mess with Congresswoman Pressley, who cut her political teeth on the Boston City Council, where you wouldn't last 10 minutes. https://t.co/tPJTXGTBA5

As Charlie notes, VR got knocked around by Dana Bash (!).  He won't last 10 minutes in a real political fight.  And he'd flunk the civics test he wants everybody to pass to be able to vote (call it what it is: a "literacy test.")

 Of course, none dare call it racism:

Which, of course, hasn't stopped that credulous campaign press corps from taking this buffoon seriously, especially after his "standout" debate. You remember? The one where he said the Constitution won the American Revolution six years before its ratification by the states? Yeah, that was cool.

The press must remain objectively stupid, and wake up anew to a fresh, strange world where memory is an obstruction to stenography.

I stand by my earlier statement.
