" This really is the biggest bunch of goofballs ever assembled to run for a major party presidential nomination."

How TRUE! Usually when you have a pack of losers, it's a bunch of wannabe's who've been hanging around forever and believe it's now their "turn" to be president. This time it's a bunch of upstart total clowns, including Donald Trump! The only one who fits the usual description is Mitt Romney, who seems like he'll be the candidate, by being more "normal" than all the rest.

I'm thinking the (R) party may end up splitting into a Tea Party/Libertarians faction as a new party and the traditional (R) types.

I agree. It was nice when there was a sensible alternative to the democrats. Insanity is fun to watch, but it's also a bit alarming that these guys got this far. Don't you think the people in Texas are probably having an "OMG" moment? I think no one really knew what a nutball Perry was until he started his presidential campaign. There has to be some cringing in Texas now.
