My Proposal For The Republican Debates
The republicans have a big problem. They have more candidates then stage for the upcoming debates.
This is truly a vexing problem for those seeking the highest office in the land. Also it's very un-American to limit the hopefuls to ten. Perhaps it's because they can only count to ten...But I digress.
In fact it's discriminatory, this is not the American way. The rules must be changed.
Being pro-active, or a shit stirrer, your choice, I propose the following.
The currentcrop is between 16 and 23. Let's start with the 16 number.
Like the national basketball championships we could start out with the ''Sweet Sixteen''. In this case we could pit the number one in the polls against number sixteen.
That would be Trump vs Kasich, and so on down the line. 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14 etc.
Now to make this even more exciting, we could add cheerleaders, mascots and nicknames. We could even go so far as to put them in a cage instead of a stage. UFC, MMA anyone. A true blood sport so to speak.
Can't you just hear it now...
In this corner, weighting in at a somewhat porky 210 lbs. (hair not included).Out of NYC, Donald ''Thundermouth'' Trump. And in the red corner, out of Ohio, weighting in at a slick 199 lbs, John ''Medicare''Kasich.
TheTrump cheerleaders, his ex-wives, celebratingtheir monthlyalimony check. Kasich, as the only republican governor to extend Medicare to thepoor, would have his cheerleaders as well. But still to poor to afford a trip to the debates.
Each candidate would face a ''sudden death'' debate.
Some candidates would suffer from various aliments (political)..Such as El Cubano de Canada (Ted Cruz) who is a foreigner. Birth Certificate please.
That folks, is my proposal for the upcoming debates.
My cousin, Sixkiller, is dead set on dueling. He always was a bit of a militant.
If you don't like my proposal, keep it to yourself. This ain't a democracy or even a republic.
No, no, no JR. This has to be a blood sport. I'm starting to agree with my cousin Sixkiller. Dueling is becoming more attractive by the minute.
Where is Soupy Sails when you need him.
I'll have to ponder that for a bit Feronia...Ok, enough pondering. Let's go with it.
My cousin Sixkiller would be proud of you.
I was thinking somewhere in between... Like use of a studded mace to the face of the offensive candidate, who would, of course, have some sort of shield to defend himself with. Thaahht would make it a bit more sporting.
This is a pretty blood thirsty group. Started out with name calling and than went from there.
Dueling, shooting, studded mace to the face and gonging. LOL
Yes, we do have to get it perfected for the dem debates. If I survive the repub debates without dying of laughter..
Oh, it's a really long story how Sixkiller got his name. Tragic yet heroic, humbling yet bumbling. A true Rez story.
I think we should pick 12 Newstalkers, and have them face-off in a debate about whether or not they like your proposal!
LOL, now that would be fun to watch Krish.
It has rhyme and reason; but the limit to ten candidates on stage comes from Fox "News," an interesting phenomenon since the right-wing blames so much on the "lame-stream-Liberal-media." In this case, a right-wing media outlet may well control the politics of the Republican Party!
A "careful what you wish for" scenario for sure.
Why am I not shocked over Fox.
Dear Friend Kavika: America has devolved intoa plutocratic oligarchy.
I like your idea of putting them in a cage. I like your idea of pitting them in pairs. As in the Tina Turner movie, Mad Max, "Two men enter, one man leaves"!
Whatever they do, as a progressive liberal Democrat, I say, "Fight amongst yourselves".
E.
Niijii, I like Mad Max. We have to be sure that one of them doesn't try to slink out the door.
Snakes belly and all that.
Lol'ed hard at this:
Lol'ed harder at this one:
LOL, we could leave them in the cage, and than move the cage to the Zoo...Perfect.
Pondering can be quick or lengthy. This one was a no brainer.
Have all the sane republicans left the party? If this is all they can come up with, it is a sad state of affairs, for sure.
Please give my regards to Sixkiller!
An undercard and a main event...This is good.
I can see Trump, flouncing onto the stage...Float like rock, sting like a buttercup.
Since Indians invented popcorn, (potato chips as well) cousin Sixkiller holds the patent on diet popcorn. Perfect for a double header.
It will be well worththe buttered version.
Cousin Sixkiller and me have our LA Z BRAVE recliners all ready to go.
