So...why is it so hard for them to NOT rape the locals?

Just wanted to say thanks for the laugh—I read this during the debate last night and laughed and laughed and laughed. Really excellent work, Anna!

Related question: Anna, are you being sent to cover the RNC? Because that would be an epic read.

We frequently call him Governor Voldemort.

Very very well said.

So is it really to the point that breaking the law to protest/mock someone who is running for public office is a good thing? I'd argue that it isn't, yet. Don't bother telling me how wrong I am, I'll show myself out.

Um...was this considered a GOOD joke, on the CPAC scale of humor? If so, I’m so sorry for your pain.

I have questions!

This is an acceptable alternative. With EGR not along to ride shotgun, who is Anna with this time? Surely they didn't send her solo to...that place?

Agreed. I know many people who are saying "well, I'm not sure about Trump, but I'm not voting for that woman, so...Trump it is." And sadly, many younger democrats seem to be saying "well, I don't like any of them, so I'm not voting." Makes me grind my teeth.

Anna,

People get kicked out of virtually all of them. Clinton in San Antonio just recently, others escorted out in 2015, Sanders deals with them as well. They are not always covered, but there are usually people kicked out no matter which rally you go to.

I know we’ll never get out of the grays because it isn’t an approved narrative for this website, but the dude WALKED OUTSIDE OF THE DESIGNATED AREA. How many steps outside of the area should he be allowed to walk before being stopped? How many death threats have they received towards Trump, and how amped up were the…

Anna, you are cracking me up today!

I must say Anna’s getting downright artistic with her Donald Trump prose. Challenge to Anna: next time, a Trump haiku?

Ted Cruz epitomizes a certain kind of quiet, lonely sadism that screams, “Don’t let me near your children.” Surprisingly, people keep doing it.

Anna,

My family, who is Cherokee, pretty much just listens to all the crap and say "sounds familiar" while shaking their heads. It is very exactly an "American" thing to do in practice, just not "on paper". Well, the paper they don't rip up, anyway.

Poorly-trained circus orangutan

That’s a well-written piece! Also, those prices! WTH???!?? I’ve never felt so clearly not in the 1%, as I was just trying to figure out when I can afford to help a family member with medical bills that could be paid off with that stupid tulle mini-dress.
