This column is for the pearl-clutchers at National Review, Beltway Blowhards George Will, Charles Krauthammer, et al, Billy Kristol and his #NeverTrump choristers, "Mittens" Romney and the similarly loathsome leaders of the GOPe, aka Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell: just who in the world do you think you are?
There were 17--count 'em 17--candidates vying for the GOP presidential nomination. And due to a series of factors, including a lack of preparation, a lack of charisma, a lack of ideological bona fides and/or the monumental lack of humility that attends a politician utterly immune to his infinitesimal chances for success, that field eventually whittled itself down to three candidates: the Monumental Egotist, the Constitutional Snake Oil Salesman and the Ankle Biter.
