And I wonder, as I read the platitudes that some 15 or so Republican Candidates gave New Hampshire voters last week-end, just want we want for the next president.

In many ways, the crazies have it easiest. One woman - who was too nutzo even for John Bolton (which - for the Brits - is like saying too right wing for Nigel Farage or Marie LaPen) just wants Obama to take his tanks and howitzers off American Streets to prevent the revolution. And while she is crazy, she is lucky. There won't be any the day tanks out there on the day after the election. You know, because there aren't any now.

But for the rest of us, what do we want?

At this point all I am looking for is someone to not screw it all up. Don't get us into another war. Don't repel ObamaCare and send millions back into the land of no health care. Don't roll back taxes again like Dip-Shit did. Can we please echo Obama's foreign policy here and "not be stupid".

Ted Cruz wants to close relations with Cuba and send gays back to the 1950s. Marco Rubio wants to freeze immigration, deport migrants, pass a path to legalization, do the opposite of what Obama is doing in Syria by doing exactly what Obama is doing - and he wants to foster stronger results with our allies by stopping by unilaterally exiting our discussions with our allies. John Bolton wants to bomb Iran now. He wants to bomb everyone, but he will start with Iran, then Russia in Ukraine and then China. Scott Walker wants to promote US growth by treating ISIS like a Union and busting it, reducing education budget by billions of dollars and building sports facilities in depressed neighborhoods. Jeb Bush wants everyone to forget Dad and brother Dubbya, by wearing a hat that says 47 and reminding donors that the Bushes learned putting money ahead of the country wins 2 terms. Hillary Clinton wants to be President to prove estrogen is every bit as stupid as testosterone.

But what do we, the people, want? Same as ever; good jobs, cheap illegal nannies, free porn and to be doing better than Canadians.
