2016 GOP Field: Vying to be Dumbest, Stupidest, Craziest

Don't ask me about my brother. Wait, go ahead ask. 

(Okay, but I know nothing ...)

Pranked me once, but twice, no way.

"I will repeal every single word in Obama-care"

(oops)

From Talking Point Memo – a fine article in part:

It is fascinating how, the (47 GOP senators and Boehner) genuflect to PM Benjamin Netanyahu about breaking off any nuclear agreement with Iran, has now quickly become some sort of a litmus test for GOP presidential candidates in 2016.

Virtually everyone who doesn't oppose any agreement or has strong ideological commitments that preclude support, is surprised at how tight the restrictions the U.S. negotiated ended up being. 

(I call it fear of Obama diplomatic success and the GOPers sure can't have any that, now can they)???

There are real questions about how much latitude the next president would have to tear up an agreement within the bounds of international law. But JEB has already signed on: He'll try to ditch it. And now Scott Walker says he will, too.

One way to look at this is that they will simply commit the country to war. That's not the most likely option. More likely, they will copy the policy most associated with George W. Bush's first term, and “stand tough while Iran does whatever it wants.” 

(Even so today that is not fully explained).

More striking though is just how little grasp of world issues that Gov. Scott Walker (and I'd argue the the others) really have of any of the details about what's involved, and how little his advisers have prepped him.

If elected president, Walker says that he'll pull back on any nuclear agreement on day one.

He further said he doesn't care if our trading partners aren't willing to go along with us. He'll have America go it alone.

So, the envelop please - and the dumb shit award goes to …. [fill in the blank __________]. Perhaps we have three-way tie (or more)? Sure seems like it.
