I remember when Conservatives were old farts with too much money. Not Right Wing Bible Thumpers or alt-Nazis.

No, no! We need voters with brains. Elections next year.

Yeah, she traveled the country giving speeches explaining why women need to stay home…

Yeah, they ignored that Chaotic & Inept tattoo on his forehead…

Bored now….

It's the booze, alas….

It's the overwhelming sexiness of such Manly Men.

Actually, old guys past their physical peak can still be attractive. If they've got good hearts & active minds. And if they consort with women other than models young enough to be their daughters. Or granddaughters.

Well, I'm healthy for my age—but some contemporaries are definitely having health problems. I'm glad to report that Trump, et al., make excellent targets for grouchy older folks.

We've all heard how VP Pence refuses to dine alone with any woman other than his wife. And avoids any social event where alcohol is served without her by his side.

Back in 1994, the Minverva Theatre in Chichester presented Head. John Barrowman & Alexis Denisof played the murderers. Anthony Head was the headmaster. Looks like an interesting production, featuring actors who later became well known to many of us this side of the pond…

Yeah, the Republicans were looking forward to Four More Years of voting to Repeal Obamacare, only to be vetoed by The Evil Hillary. ("Curses, foiled again!") Again & again.

For all his evil (and I remember him well), Reagan had enough B-actor chops to give a good speech. Trump occasionally manages to read a teleprompter—but his Convention speech was dreadful.

George W didn't want to go into politics but reached a point in life where he'd done nothing else successful. So he let his dad & pals put him forth. They thought JEB would succeed—but W did. (With JEB's help in Florida.)

There's an old Byzantine Story (or maybe R A Lafferty just said there was) that God destroyed the world. But the end was not dramatic enough for him. So he turned back time a bit to work up to a more satisfying End.

The bigger problem is getting people out to vote in decent numbers. And in 2018—let's not just wait for 2020…..

Indeed. All the Texas cities went for Clinton (except Ft Worth, for some reason.) Here in Houston, our down-ballot Democrats all did well. But we've got the dipshit Republican congress in Austin to deal with.

Alas, President Hillary would have faced a Republican House & Senate without one bit of illusion about "bipartisanship."

Surely most of those "let's vote 3rd party as a protest" folks were too young to remember 2000……
