    The funny thing is that in many ways, Trump is to the GOP what Bernie was to the Dems. He is the Republican that people want to vote for, and everyone else is a professional politician going along to get along. The difference is that the GOP primary is more democratic than the Dem primary, which will never not be funny.

      I wonder if in all its flag-waving coverage if MSNBC mentioned other democratic candidates by name who got votes in the New Hampshire primary. The primary was a joke anyway. It wasn't official so zero delegates were at stake.

      Of course - I'm being very silly and not a single verboten name was mentioned on the network. American civil religion demands filial piety to the two parties and the avoidance of the forbidden just like God intended.
