If God truly loves America, Rubio will get the nomination, and both Trump and Carson will run third party on separate tickets. Then Hillary probably wins every single state (except maybe Utah).
The Party throws itself at Romney’s feet and begs him to accept the nomination. Hillary still loses Utah.
Okay, so here’s my offer. We cancel the election, name Joe Biden President, and I’ll even throw in enough Senate seats to get you to 51.
Deal?
That’s your opening offer? I sense blood in the water… no deal!
(actually I’d take that deal in a heartbeat)
I would never take that deal. I like the outcome well enough, but it’s not worth the price. Cancel the elections to put a good guy in office, and next cycle, you’re going to end up canceling them to put a fiend in.
Shit, I’m too busy trembling in fear at the awesome power of adaher!
Good point. I take it back.
I think of that as the “Claudius paradox”, around the protagonist of Robert Graves’ novel. A flawed but fundamentally decent man who does his best to be a “good” Emperor, even as he realizes that he is surrounded by greedy and ambitious people, one of whom will seize power when he dies, if not sooner. And that the “good Emperor” is the worst enemy of republican government, because it allows people to prefer the good but illegal over the mediocre but legal.
I wonder how much we’d have to pay Flint to put up a similar bounty on Trump?
Question though, how high is he in this video? A lot to very, right?
And when I was looking for that doctor I would consider “career neurosurgeon” and “medical establishment insider” to be positives. It wouldn’t cross my mind that someone with no neurosurgery experience would bring a fresh outlook to the surgery.
Hard to tell. I mean, he’s definitely in an airplane, but altitude cannot be determined.

Good. Back to the book store discount section for you, buddy. 
I disagree.
It’s not unusual for outstanding creative scientists to have crackpot ideas in areas outside their primary specialty. One example is Newton’s belief in astrology, something that, even then, was already way past it’s scientific sell-buy date. Another is William Shockley’s racism. Another is psychologist William James buying into talk-to-the-dead mediums. Another is chemist Linus Pauling championing megavitamins. These aren’t original examples, but I can’t recall the historian of science I got them from.
In order to devise and prove out new brain operations, you have to be the kind of person who questions the conventional wisdom espoused by more typical Johns Hopkins professors. This can work well in areas in which the outstanding scientist is expert, but goes awry when applied to areas the scientist doesn’t know much about, such as, in the case of Ben Carson, medical economics, global warming, and the Great Pyramid.
