2 April—Today is presidential primary day in Connecticut and some more important states. More important only in terms of electoral votes, of course. Yeah, right. The results of the Connecticut primaries were a foregone conclusion over a year ago, of course, even before some candidates had thrown their hats in the crapper.
Although they’re still on the Connecticut ballot, the three half-way respectable Republican candidates have dropped out, two endorsing the least worthy one in the bargain: Florida autocrat governor Ron DeSantis and Texas-based bible-thumping nondenominational Christian entrepreneur Ryan Binkley (ever hear of him?) suspended their campaigns and each chose a substantial Trump buttock to plant his lips on.
To her credit, South Carolina ageist Nikki Haley has steadfastly refused to endorse the scumbag Trump. Not that endorsements from anyone but entertainers have any influence on voters, to be sure.
On the Democrat side, three presidential candidates remain. There’s Old White Joe Biden, of course; he has the nomination tied up in spite of his age, natural ineptitude, and running mate. Because he’s a nice guy and perceived as the only person outside of Jesus Christ who can beat Trump. Well, maybe even including JC, given Trump’s determination to get back in the White House no matter what it takes. Repeat: No matter what it takes. Be forewarned. And expect the worst.
And now Trump, the most godless person of the modern era (including Vladimir Putrid, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jung Un) is selling God Bless the USA Bibles for 59 dollars apiece to bolster his embarrassing campaign finances. God bless him. Then again, isn’t Trump a power greater than God?
(Organized religion is basically a means of political control. And Donald Trump indisputably, certainly, and without doubt has achieved that.)
Back to the Democrats, then, although he remains on the Connecticut ballot, Congressman Dean Phillips has dropped out of the race and endorsed Biden. But California flake Marianne Williamson, having suspended her campaign on 7 February, “un-suspended” it on 28 February. So what did you expect? And of course she’s still taking up space on the Democrat ballot.
The Connecticut Democrat presidential primary ballot also lists Cenk Uygur as a candidate. It shouldn’t. Not because Cenk is a co-founder of the very left-leaning progressive Young Turks. But because he actually is a young Turk, having been born in Istanbul 54 years ago; and that makes him ineligible to be President of the United States, according to the Constitution.
Connecticut’s Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas, who had the good sense not to bar Donald Trump from the ballot, should have had the common sense to bar Cenk Uygur. Didn’t she and her overpaid lackeys perform due diligence on Cenk? Go figure. It’s not worth worrying about in all events. But you wonder about Cenk’s choice for vice president.
At least Stephanie was good enough to give Connecticut’s Republican and Democrat voters a choice of principle at the bottom of their ballots: “Uncommitted.” In the circumstance, it’s the only oval to fill in . . .
