Pick your poison. All three so called front runners are more toxic than a barrel of ricin. Hillary is enmeshed in scandal after scandal , Sanders is a straight up communist and Trump and his hangers on are something else entirely. Threatening the Ricketts via Twitter because they dared donate to a PAC against him? Just wow. I am trying to wrap my brain around this question: What is the real difference between these three stooges?

The Ricketts story began with a tweet

I hear the Rickets family, who own the Chicago Cubs, are secretly spending $’s against me. They better be careful, they have a lot to hide!

This is also standard operating procedure for the Clintons and old school communists: do everything to silence the opposition. #notconservativevalues. So I can go off for days on the immaturity of Trump (and some of his idiot opponents) but all this does is confirm he is poisonous and toxic.

On to Bernie

Today, Sanders wants to bring what he admired in the USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua and other communist states to America.

Chernobyl, Food Shortages and an artificially constructed oligarchy? No thanks.

For starters, he proposes completely nationalizing our health care system and putting private health insurance and drug companies “out of business.” He also wants to break up “big banks” and control the energy industry, while providing “free” college tuition, a “living wage” and guaranteed homeownership and jobs through massive public works projects. Price tag: $18 trillion.

I can guess he never darkened the doors of the economics department at the University of Chicago…….

Who will pay for it all? You will. Sanders plans to not only soak the rich with a 90 percent-plus tax rate, while charging Wall Street a “speculation tax,” but hit every American with a “global-warming tax.”

Because that is GREAT for the economy. And upward mobility and innovation. NOT.  Treating the tree of liberty with poison is killing it.

Then there is Hillary. Nothing to see here who spins the release of classified information (a federal crime for anyone else it should be noted).

A federal judge has opened the door to subpoenas for Mrs. Clinton and her staff over her exclusive use of private email account for official business at the State Department, questioning the Obama administration’s “good faith” in keeping those emails secret for six years.

Gee I feel so much better about the fate of the Republic, don’t you?  Poison again.

It is safe to say that no matter which of these three truly horrible candidates wins, we all lose. I am not fond of despair and doom. But these three clowns are a disaster no matter where you are on the political scale. I am hoping against hope for Rubio or Cruz to pull ahead of Trump and bring sanity back to the race. Right now the US feels a bit too much like Germany around 1932 or Russia about 1916. Let’s learn from the past and not go there again.  Pick your poison is not a suggestion but a very possible reality.  And a very alarming one at that.
