Yep - the GOP certainly doesn't have monopoly on idiocy - but their candidates were almost all ridiculous. I think the repubs seem to have more nut-jobs in their camp at the moment. The dems seem to be more united and just kind of follow along like sheep and pick HRC because it's the 'obvious' choice. Foolishness on both sides of this election for sure. Sanders seemed like a viable candidate, I don't know if any of the repubs were.
