At Davos today, defeated Republican coulda-been Eric Cantor told people who bothered listening to him that Trumpf will never be the GOP nominee because he's can't make it through the primaries. What's in the drinking water in Davos?
Corporatized and commercialized elections reach a point where they stand outside and erode our democracy. Every four years the presidential and Congressional elections become more of a marketplace where the wealthy paymasters turn a civic process into a spectacle of vacuous rhetorical contests, distraction and stupefaction.
The civic minds of the people are sidelined by the monetized minds of a corrupted commercial media, political consultants, pundits and the purveyors of an ever-more dictatorial corporate state.
Ted Cruz isn't just a flip-flopper on core right-wing issues; he blatantly lies about it as well. Doesn't he understand that everything gets recorded nowadays? In the video above, Tea Party senatorial candidate Cruz, 2011, was being honest with crackpot radio host/immigrant hater Duke Machado, telling him that the Constitution protects birthright citizenship, a concept that is anathema to Know Nothings, xenophobes, racists and extremists on the far right.

This country is going right to hell. And if there’s a party to blame it’s the electorate, the citizens. The disentangled and disengaged. Untethered and unbelievable. The clueless, vapid, insipid and various.
