I Returned to Glamis's Chew Toy and Can't Help But See It As a Symbol of Several Republican Candidates From Last Night

Alice assured me this wasn't Bob, her three-legged cat. Bob has both ears and is missing a front leg.

I'm registered to the Democratic Party, but I've been politically neutral for a long, long time. In terms of Presidential elections I have a 100% track record for voting for the individual who was put into office (it's not that I got my advice from Team America, but I know when it's time to have an a@@hole in the office and a time to offer American people hope).

Hmmm. Seems that there were a few moments of a@@hole battling last night where people stood their ground and brought sanity to the chaotic debacle that Trump has brought to the political arena. I think he has been a good thing. He rose quickly in the rankings (which has many of us scratching our heads), and he was the source of almost 90% of the questions last night...a catalyst of sorts to get the real conversations going.

Now, it's early and I'm hoping the Democratic Party will get their act together (cough cough) but I was impressed by individuals who stood out last night on the Republican side that I didn't anticipate.  Carly Fiorina did a fantastic job standing up to Trump and definitely spoke for women with impressive integrity and poise. As much as I can't stand Jersey's Christi and his poor choices in defunding public schools and advocating for Charters, he held his own in making a case for what American people need. He seemed to be more for the people. Carson, too, brings a gentle, mature posture to the way Republicans should want to be represented.

I don't think I could be a politician. Losing an arm (or an ear) on stage would make me cry in front of the cameras. I do think, though, that leaders are coming out of the arguments and I'm ready to see what the left has to say. I've never been impressed by one-trick ponies and each party tends to put such a creature forth during elections (because that is the flaw of a two-party system). Perhaps this is why I like to vote back and forth...

There's a time for conservatism. There's a time for innovation. Thinking locally and globally, I'm thinking a lot needs to change. It's a mess out here right now.
