Slapstick Comedy in Democrat Party Presidential Politics

Democrat Party Presidential election politics hasn't much that is funny about it this cycle. Most are waiting for the end of the Clinton era to evolve so new candidates with good ideas will be willing to throw away a few million dollars chasing a nomination. Al Gore of yore was good for a little humor in times past. Yet it is to the Republican party that one must look in hopes of discovering anything funny.

The Bush league entry in the sweepstakes for 2016 has the strength of the family history as a warrior clan able to defeat the family's enemies, however Jeb Bush isn't a veteran and seems rather wussified on the border security issue. If it weren't a serious failure that might contend for a humor ranking.

Senator Rubio believes that merit should determine who immigrate legally to America; those would be in his opinion persons that are rich or otherwise able to improve the economy. That idea merits consideration for slapstick comedy insofar as it ignores the loyalty trait in the dirty, tired and poor yearning to breathe free factor that was a premise for founding the nation and getting rid of the royalty.

Probably the U.S.A. should admit a half million legal immigrants annually from all nations of the world combined and the majority ought to be the poorest of the poor from every nation with only 25% of the slots reserved for those of 'merit'.

It seems like those best fitting Rubio meritocracy would be rich globalists with no sense of loyalty at all that would use the nation as a flag of convenience yet create jobs here as employers. The Chinese Communist Party would also be meritorious in that criterion if they bought more Long Beach dock facilities to develop factories outsourcing American technology and whatever else they can use.

Donald Trump is the life of the Republican Party this cycles it seems. Without the Trumpster the 2016 election campaign would be without color-something just black and white. One might look to the Canadian-American running for the job; Ted Cruz, hopefully for comedy, yet he has too sober and quality of ideas on immigration to qualify and set besides that if elected he would denounce loyalty to the Queen and burn the British and Canadian flags indicating that he is no more willing to be a British subject like the Clintons (note-this value added fiction content lately is done conservatively to enhance comedy potential and is limited to the last couple of sentences).

Traditionally Democrats wait until elected to prove their true potential for comedy with cigars and such while Republican have demonstrated humor right up front-even in the primaries. Comedy traits ought not disqualify candidates from serious consideration for election however-Jerry Ford and L.B.J. didn't perish from advanced Alzheimer's or Mad Cow disease. Ronald Reagan wasn't too well known for practical jokes, and Chevy Chase didn't seem very crazy most of the time.
