I say flailing because they try to score points wherever they can, however they can. Racing to the bottom full speed ahead. And you all love it and see nothing wrong with it. Therefore the political discourse is at the level that it is.

The difference between the two is primarily that Kelly is liberal on just about every issue that helps her personally (family leave, women's rights so long as it's the "right" women, etc) and Rove is so conservative that even direct polling needs to be adjusted to the color of his home planet

The pick and choose with a laser focus kind of conservative that Kelly is is worse than the delusional weirdo that Rove is imho

Reince departed from the courtyard to the bar room in his private chambers where he found his nightly flagon of brandy laid out by his servants beside a pile of raven scrolls. Reince drank deeply of the flagon's brown water. The brandy made his stomach cramp but cramps were easier to bear than sobriety. He began to lay the scrolls of polling data out upon his barstools to read, but as he read the news upon each stool was more of a loser and looked fouler than the last.

Reince drank deeply again from the flagon, then gathered the scrolls and threw them upon a brazier of hot coals and stared deeply into the flames hoping for a vision from the Red God to grant him guidance. Long ago as an acolyte of the Red God Reince had found comfort and certainty in these visions as the white hot ball of fire consistently shrieked out against the unjust reign of the Usurper Obama, but now as High Priest of the Red Order he often found the visions unsettling as the mind of the Red God appeared factious, confused, and often at war within itself.

He drank deeply again and stared into the flames as a first vision began to take form. First he saw King-Beyond-The-Wall Chillary, clad in a pantsuit of boiled leather and bone, astride her great war mammoth Inevitable, leading her wildling hordes of delegates inexorably to the south as a phalanx of giant super delegates kept time on wardrums purchased for her by the richest lords of the north.

The flame faded and shifted as Reince drank another belt of brandy. A second vision appeared - this time even further to the north where a withered old man stood clad only in a loincloth in a driving blizzard, his eyes glowing pale blue as his unkempt white hair fluttered in the frozen gale. Gibbering mindless hordes of followers skittered around him numbered in the millions. They too marched south, determined to either overrun Chillary's army or failing that to join forces with it against the Red God.

And now a third vision: The ruined plains of the Cleaved Lands where Lord Donald and his gold clad warriors were arrayed alongside Ser Crooze and his phalanx of zombie delegates to vie for who would be king. In the flame vision Lord Donald unhitched his golden pantaloons and began making GBS threads upon the altar of the long-established Red God. This blasphemy drove Reince to begin drinking once more. The more Donald shat, the more Reince drank, but the more Reince drank the more Donald shat. Ser Crooze gave the order to attack and as each of Lord Donald's delegates fell the corpses were raised again to fight for the army of the Slime Lord.

Reince, his mind frayed by alcohol and the terrors of these visions fell to the floor in despair. Once again the visions had not offered comfort or guidance but had served only portents of doom - the forces of The Other were marching while his armies fought amongst themselves. He, the High Priest of the Red God knew not what to do to gird his territories against the arrayed forces of the Blue Lands. Yet as he succumbed to the blackness of the brandy's warm embrace he heard a warning clearly spoken in his mind but not uttered by any mortal tongue - "November is coming."

You're forgetting the part where Megyn Kelly was only hired for her looks by Ailes. The 'bimbo' noun here seems to be correct, somewhat.

The only problem with Trump telling the truth about her is that a significant number of so called 'leftists' have made her more socially acceptable in precincts other than Fox. FFS she's even talking about leaving Fox for another job in pop culture media now. Don't even get me started on that gold digging succubus at Brietbart.

The Donald and Christie peer over the battlements of Trump Tower. Far in the distance, a beam of swirling green light and flame shoot up from Austin, Texas, up into the heavens. The earth rumbles. The sky is covered in grey and black clouds.

"The board is set, I will tell you," Trump says. "The pieces are moving, and they are moving hard, fast, they are coming. Boom."

A thousand leagues away, Lord Crooze, on his foul winged drake, alights on the ruins of Milwaukee. He speaks to his captain, Nikki. "Send forth all legions," as his orcs, gimps, skeksis, ghouls and uldras march forward. "Do not stop until the primary is taken. Kill them all."

His grotesque mount screeches in reply.

This has been a recurring theme during this election. Get pissed over some stupid outrageous poo poo Trump has said, while letting other candidates on the GOP get away with murder because they've toned their language down.

Trump isn't saying or doing anything that anyone at Fox News hasn't dog whistled before. Yet some conservatives are able to get democrats on their side during this whole ordeal while pushing jackasses like Ted Cruz to the front as a result of this poo poo.
