White letter: GOP presidential candidates

After watching the Republican presidential debates, I’m convinced our allies are worried that if any of these speed bumps get elected, we’re all doomed. Our adversaries are probably drinking vodka and laughing uncontrollably.

Each debate is a circus with too many clowns. The only one who made any sense was ... OK, none of them made any sense. They act like adolescent children. Their mommies should give them each a cookie and send them outside to play.

Marco Rubio said that, if elected, he’ll undo everything Obama accomplished. There goes the economy and the auto industry. Unemployment will increase and Osama bin Laden will come back to life. If Rubio were running against Obama, he’d be toast.

Jeb Bush is gone. Good. He flunked math in 2000 when Florida mysteriously failed to count their votes. Every other state, including Hawaii, several time zones to the west, got theirs counted and in on time.

Ted Cruz wants to carpet bomb. Cruz is a carpet bomb. We should send him to the Middle East, not Washington.

Why do Republicans, who avoided military service, love war so much?

If Obama doesn’t appoint the next Supreme Court justice, Hillary will.
