Sources are saying Trump's candidacy will be derailed this week by anti-Trump forces at the convention and that Mike Pence will become the presumptive candidate for the Presidency and that Newt Gingrich will be his Vice President .
Make America Safe Again?
What does that even mean?
Control through fear. Isolationism. Bigotry and racism...Those are the first things that come to my mind with a slogan like that.

Animals for parties?
Well, clearly, the ostrich, with it's head in the sand for the Republicans.
Perhaps the road runner for the Democrats.
Thank you for these columns. I read them every day.

"Make America Safe" means more rioting in the streets. Since we have large Hispanic and Muslim populations, it's only a slogan. At least the media is having a field day.
The GOP can revel that we're a nation of guns for hire and guns for sale and other nations, jockeying for dominance, just need to keep up.

The first two presidents of the 20th century from NY were the Roosevelts. The only one since then was Nixon in 1968 (yes that Californian actually ran as a resident of NY that year) and now we have the Donald and Hillary.
So much for the theory of evolution.

Walking downmyhill here in Tucson there is a donkey but he is of rusted metal, his head is down low with hind legs up, giving a swift kick to a huge barrel cactus which has fallen over.
I will stick with Donkey for Democrats in this instance even tho I am an Independent since 1976.

When is Wayne LaPierre, topdog of the NRA, who makes $972,000 a year, scheduled to speak?

“What other animals do you think represent the parties?”
tune of “If I Could Talk to the Animals”
If we could vote for the animals, can you picture it
Would we be much further up a tree?
Could we do worse than we’re doing, get worse than we’re getting
Would the vetting go less miserably?
If we could vote for the animals, any kind you’d like
Might this week in Cleveland guarantee
That we could be far less frightened, that things will worsen,
Be much less diverse in what we see
If I could pick a Senate with kind canines
Or choose a House with real sweet kangaroos
Or a V.P. with keen and owl-like ref’rences
They’d be my pref’rences, to choose
If I could have a menagerie with such qualities
Would we be concerned with bigotry
If I just wrote in the animals, noteworthy animals
Check the box for vote-worthy animals
And they could work for me

How about a Cockroach as a symbol for the Republican party. Nobody likes them, they don't contribute to the betterment of the world and yet you can never get rid of them.

You're only contributing to the Republican voter base that feels alienated by the uneducated (and/or questionably educated) left's predisposition to ad hominem attacks like these purely for having different opinions on controversial topics. And guess who that group's voting for?

Let the show begin. The show of bias, prejudice, bigotry, hate, divisiveness.
All in the name of law and order and Christianity, they say.
What a way to make America great again. The Republican Party, led by Donald Trump and Mike Pence.
We can hardly believe they've stooped this low. Let us just pray no innocent get hurt because of their dog and pony show.

The followers of the Republicans should be ostriches - they continually stick their heads in the sand, leaving their backsides up in the air.
Edit if you must.

“So where do the Republican elephant and Democratic donkey come from?”
Imagining just for fun that the world wakes up and finds it’s all a wild dream or a joke of some sort!
“Play That Donkey Music, Right Boy”
Tune of "Play That Funky Music"
Hey, wake up now, have you been sleeping (hey, hey)
Hey, I was a real right-winger,
Singing out my Pachyderm song
I’d heard each each Clinton zinger,
Shook my trunk, convinced she was wrong
My head was thick and blurry,
Sure that it was all a mistake
I didn’t seem to worry (Not at all)
I’m dreaming and soon I’ll be awake
Now I see Donald, Ivanka, some guv from Indiana
In Cleveland it hits me, the force flips me around.
It’s shouting:
Play that donkey music, Right boy
Play that donkey music now
Play that donkey music, Right boy
Give up that trunk and go play that donkey music,
Or you’ll cry, Yes, you’ll cry
(repeat chorus)

Not at all surprised Mike Pence goes to NYC and eats at....Chili's.

Generally relatable to the American public. I can see why he did it, but it's a disgrace to New York.

For a guy from Indiana that's probably considered ethnic food.

I don't like the man, but be fair--he had a (delayed) flight out of Teterboro and chose (or someone chose for him) a known restaurant in Secaucus (maybe the best option in Secaucus). It would have been silly to take the time to get in and out of a Manhattan restaurant and then get to NJ in time for the flight.
