GOP gaggle brings the crazy

The Republican cast of characters attempting to become the presidential nominee are at it again; running to out-crazy each other. If any one of them was to be nominated and subsequently elected, it would simply reinforce the notion the general public is crazier than their choice. Somewhere in their spouting is the phrase, “Bring us together.” Well count me out. I want to be vastly separated, certainly not together with any one of them.

To the voters on either side I say: Not one of us is greater than all of us. Together we can make this place better. It simply won’t be done by attempting to out-craze each other by choosing any one of the 20 and counting.
