OK we will give Cruz back to Canada in exchange for an infamous Canadian to be named later.

I would HAPPILY take Alanis Morrisette or Paul Shaffer over Cruz.

As would I. But I think Canada would feel cheated if we took them.

1. Voters are more tribal than I thought.
2. GOP is weaker than I thought.
3. Media is worse than I thought.

Too late. Cruz officially renounced his Canadian citizenship at the start of his campaign.
Try Cuba! I hear that Americans can travel there now.

I am sure there are enough members of Congress who are willing to abduct Cruz, stuff him in a crate and ship it to the wilds of Saskatchewan with little to no encouragement.

Things The Rock says in bed!
This whole Trump debacle is starting to feel like an ever-growing ball of shit rolling down an ever-steeper incline.
Increasingly difficult to stop, and guaranteed to get messy at the bottom.

I donât think they intend to do any harm, but theyâre assuming the system can be made to work if we only cooperate with the people who are intent on breaking it.
The end result is that they end up either doing nothing, or taking half measures so ineffective theyâre just as good as doing nothing.
And thatâs whatâs destroying not just America, but the rest of the planet as well. I honestly believe that if we donât get our shit together- And I mean full-stop-and-reverse-course together- Our society wonât survive this century.

No, no, itâs reasonably apt.
My take is that Clinton wants to keep driving straight ahead and will run us off the cliff.
Cruz actively WANTS us to run off the cliff so we can all meet Jesus.
Trump has no idea how to drive and will probably crash us into a tree before we get that far.
Sanders is yelling about how we need to turn around, but nobody is listening.
And my segment of the Bernie-or-bust crowd knows that the brakes donât work, and is thinking the risk of the tree is probably better than the certainty of the cliff.

Oooh. Now that heâs out of the race, I suppose Cruzâs fellow Republicans in Congress will be seeing a lot more of him now.
Perhaps Lindsay Graham, Mitch McConnell and John McCain will throw a Welcome Back party. They can invite John Boehner too. What fun!

I am picturing a âblanket partyâ in a Full Metal Jacket sense of those words.

I hear that sort of thing a lot. Our society has survived multiple wars, revolutions, and crises far deeper than what weâre dealing with right now. Itâs changed, and evolved, but our society didnât die. And a Congress intent on being defiantly nonfunctional wonât kill our society, either, nor will petty politics or partisan divides. Itâll change and evolve, like always. Personally, Iâd rather be on the side of change that isnât trying to actively destroy things and sees some hope and productivity in whatâs been started over the past eight years.

Except that when the debt bubble bursts, it will hit us with an economic disaster worse than anything weâve seen before. Thereâs potential for literally 75% of Americaâs wealth to simply vanish. And thatâs not even my main concern.
The ocean is dying. Literally. Dying. If we let that happen, it takes everything else with it. I honestly donât understand why people arenât freaking the fuck out about this, except that maybe itâs just too disastrous to imagine.
This is bad. I mean, really bad.

And thatâs why preventing presidential candidates whoâs stated goal is to eliminate all environmental protections, bring back the gold standard, eliminate the IRS, and give the wealthy huge tax cuts should be our main concern in this election. I think itâs very possible to acknowledge that the ocean is in big trouble but also to be aware that I canât personally do anything to fix it at 5:30pm on a Wednesday, but I can vote for people who want to fix it rather than people who think itâs a hoax.
