In searching around online for video of tonight’s Republican debate, I stumbled across this disturbing piece of footage from Fox News.
The guy on the right is Gary Johnson, who, if you can believe it, is probably one of the more legitimate candidates in the Republican field. You won’t see him in tonight’s Republican debate, though, as he’s not polling well enough to cross CNN’s legitimacy threshold. No, that distinction is saved for those who really connect with the Republican base, by railing against auto company bailouts, calling for Muslims to sign loyalty oaths, promising to prosecute doctors found providing abortions for rape survivors, bemoaning the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and receiving communications for the Lord.
