They're All The Same

The current "GOP For Dummies" narrative holds that Donald Trump is dangerously nuts, Ted Cruz is just as nutty plus he has a nasty streak of religious zeal, and one-time Tea Party darling Marco Rubio is somehow moderate-ish.

Three peas in the same unpleasant pod 

An op-ed in today's Washington Post by Catherine Rampell points out that these three wanna-be's are all pretty much equally right-tarded.

Each of these Three Stooges:

• Wants to build a wall along the entire Mexican border.
• Favors handing trillions of dollars in regressive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.
• Wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with . . .  magic.
• Is a proponent of torture -- more torture, better torture, "a hell of a lot worse."
• Would refuse entry to all Muslims, and also to all Syrian refugees.  (Cruz is OK with Christian Syrians.)
• Is a climate-change denier.
• Favors even further reduction in our gun control laws and regs.
• Wants to make same-sex marriage illegal again.

Yes, those are your leading GOP candidates and some of their big policy positions.  Charming, aren't they?

Today's Republicans are a banquet of all-you-can-eat crazy!
