You're probably thinking, "Boy, there sure are a lot of Republicans who think they're qualified to be President of the United States of America!"
And then, after you stop laughing, you're probably thinking, "But none of them are! Not really. Not one!"
Here's the problem: after 8 years of George W. Bush, the bar was set sooooo low that anyone in the GOP with more than two functioning brain cells thought "Hey, if he was President, I could be President, too! Cool!"
Thank you, Simple W.
And then, because a (gasp) black man was elected, twice, (hahaha), the racist part of those dimly functioning brains thought, "Hey, I'm white! That automatically makes me superior to any non-white person. I should be President! Cool!"
It is a perfect storm of stupid, and hubris, and white privilege all twirling together that gives us people like Trump, Bush, Cruz, Santorum, Rubio, Perry, Graham, Kasich, Christie, and Walker.
Frankly, there is no rational explanation for Carly Fiorina or Bobby Jindal. Other than being purely delusional, that is.
And as for Ben Carson, well, a little too much surgical nitrous oxide is my guess. He's flat tripping.
