Toothpick Stuck in the Wrong Hole

     Rick Perry, former Texas governor and Republican presidential candidate for the 2012 and 2016 election cycles, endorsed Donald Trump, adding that he "won't say no" if the presumptive GOP nominee asks him to be his running mate.  Given that Trump won't ask him this, it's a pathetic bit of self-flattery.  Perry, early in the race, condemned Trump's anti-Mexican proposals.  Perry used to govern a state with America's longest border with Mexico.  Texas, as of 2011, had an Hispanic population of thirty-eight percent.  Perry may be dumb enough to try to sidle up next to Donald Trump, but when he ran against the racist billionaire, he knew it would be political suicide to alienate nearly four out of ten people in his home state.
     Interestingly, he and Jeb Bush, another former governor of a state (Florida) with a large (twenty-three percent) Hispanic population, were unable to prevail against a thin-skinned loudmouth who decided from the first day of his campaign on a strategy that includes vitriolic racism against Hispanics, who comprised in 2012 approximately seventeen percent of overall U.S. population.
     Imagine what may have gone on in that orange-skinned motherfucker's mind: "I will shit on seventeen percent of the population of America for the sake of gaining millions of votes from blue collar whites who always look down, class-wise, at what they believe to be the source of their economic problems, when they should be looking up."
     Perry, like many Republican politicians these days, has licked the Trump ass crack.  "Little Marco" Rubio supports Trump now, making him truly a little man.
     Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, has said he can't support Trump "at this time."  He hopes to do so in future.  I suppose he believes Trump's personality might improve, from boor to gentleman.  Don't expect it, though.  When Trump, speaking at a rally, mentioned Perry's endorsement, he gave a hot-cold reaction, unable to restrain himself from talking about Perry's past criticisms.  There was a brief time last year when Perry was the only GOP candidate speaking out against Trump, who hasn't forgotten.  Trump is vindictive; everyone should understand this by now.
     Jeb Bush, like his father and brother, has not endorsed Trump, who, in my view, used his exploitation of the illegal immigration issue, to some small degree, to cut at Jeb Bush's wife, who's from Mexico.  Rick Perry's wife is from Texas.  She's the daughter of a family physician who was awarded the Bronze Star in World War Two.  I mention this little detail to show that people, even politicians' wives, can have admirable ancestry.  Trump's method of ripping up opponents, like continually calling Jeb Bush "low energy," hits with shrapnel-like imprecision.  I don't know Jeb Bush's wife, but I'm willing to accept the idea that she isn't a disgusting, cretinous piece of shit like Donald Trump, who, just in the last day or so, mentioned his long-defeated adversary Jeb Bush, adding, "I'm not going to say he's low energy.  No, I'm not going to say that."
     I'm not going to say, Mr. Trump, that your chances of winning the presidency are slim due to your odious statements about women, Latinos, Muslims, and African-Americans, nor will I say that you don't just deserve to lose the election, but should be the first human being to be exiled from Earth itself.  I'm not going to say you're likely to become, if elected, the most hated man on Earth.  I won't say you're face looks like a Francis Bacon painting of a rotting cheese.
     I will say you're not fortunate to have the backing of dozens of Republican fools who were too cowardly to stop you last year.  Their submission now is as disgusting to me as your unchecked rise to power, utilizing fear, racism, misogyny, and mankind's worst self-defeating tendencies.
