Several years ago there was a very funny movie about a Broadway show called \u201cSpringtime for Hitler.\u201d<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 The accountant for a producer figured out that if someone could develop a Broadway show guaranteed to\u00a0fail, they would actually make more money than for a successful show.\u00a0 The decision was to develop a Broadway show guaranteed to be a major flop.\u00a0 They hired the worst possible screen writer to create an idiotic script.\u00a0 They retained the most pathetic available director and selected the most incompetent out of control actors available.\u00a0 At first the audience reacts with outrage, as expected, but then someone starts to laugh.\u00a0 The worse the show gets, the more people laugh and the more popular it becomes.\u00a0 It ends up becoming an enormous hit, which creates huge problems for the producers who end up going to jail for fraudulent financing.<\/p>\n

Sometimes it appears as though the 2016 Presidential race is a spinoff of Springtime for Hitler<\/strong>.\u00a0 How else could anyone explain the following cast of characters other than as a silly plot designed by a maniacal producer determined to create a flop?<\/p>\n

The leading contender is Hillary Clinton; an aging has been who never was. Sometimes it is hard to believe she is a real person.\u00a0 This is a feminist who only achieved fame and power by marrying a serial philanderer.\u00a0 She has a life long history of telling outrageous lies so transparently false that it is sometimes hard to restrain the giggle factor.\u00a0 Every time anyone was stupid enough to follower her guidance the result was unmitigated and catastrophic failure, from Hillary Care to Libya.\u00a0 The majority of people in her own party don\u2019t consider her trustworthy and there is a significant chance she will be indicted for gross negligence with regard to protecting classified information.\u00a0 That of course, has no impact on the many pundits who consider her to be the odds on favorite and by far the person best qualified to be the next President of the United States.<\/p>\n

Her opponent is Bernie Sanders, a wild-haired 74 year old socialist who isn\u2019t technically a Democrat.\u00a0 He is drawing enormous crowd by resurrecting silly socialist propaganda proposing policies that have failed all over the world.\u00a0 No serious person, in either party, believes there is any chance he can deliver 10% of what he promises because there isn\u2019t close to enough money.\u00a0 No one living person can remember a single thing Bernie Sanders has done that could remotely be classified as an accomplishment.<\/p>\n

The leading Republican contender is an enormously wealthy business man famous for flaunting his life style of the rich and famous.\u00a0 He is on his third trophy wife. \u00a0He has bankrupted four companies leaving investors drowning in red ink while he flies around to his luxury resorts on his enormous private jet. He is getting hours of free media coverage primarily by sneering into the camera with his smug red-faced bulldog expression while shouting insults that have put him in contention for the Guinness world record for insulting the most people in the shortest possible period of time.\u00a0 The more outrageous the insult and the more childish his behavior the higher he rises in the polls.\u00a0 Incredibly one of the richest men in the world has somehow convinced the blue collar workers he is famous for exploiting that he is on their side.<\/p>\n

If you were a producer looking for the most ridiculous script and the worst possible cast of characters performing in a play managed by the most incompetent possible director it would be difficult to do a better job at depicting insanity than what we are seeing in real life during this election cycle. I sometimes keep waiting for the producer, or someone to burst onto the stage asking people if they are really buying this load of crap.\u00a0 But, in real life, as in the movie, that would probably just make each of them even more popular.<\/p>\n

The problem here is that if we are stupid enough to elect any of these clowns the joke will be on us.<\/p>\n
