The republican candidates for their party's Presidential nomination has turned their campaign into a circus. It's nothing new but on a larger scale with so many of them running. First it was just Trump with his personal attacks and silly statements and now his opponents are returning the favor with the exception of Carly Fiorina and John Kasich. Mike Huchabee and Ted Cruz tried to act like ring masters by going to Kentucky to support Kim Davis position of disobeying the law on the issue of marriage licenses.
Does the voting public really believe those candidates are serious people who should be elected to the highest and most powerful office in the land. Every day they display their lack of political understanding which is so important and necessary to make decisions that affect the people and the country. Like their fellow republicans who control both houses of congress they have no policy or plans to talk about that are positive. They only know America is going to hell.
Kathleen Parker, columnist for the Washington Post joined the circus with her opinion column published in the Times Picayune of 9/13/15 titled, Jindal Unmasks The Truth About Trump concerning Jindal's comments before the National Press Club about Trump. Parker praises Jindal's record in Louisiana even though the people in Louisiana rate him poorly.
Jindal said in one of his statements Trump was not a serious candidate and was devoid of substance. Well Kathleen Parker, that statement and others made by Jindal actually describe Jindal and the republican party in general along with their Presidential hopefuls. She also believes Jindal's statements are true about Trump. You can not have a circus without news media attention and Kathleen makes that possible.
The republican party, conservatives and a Presidential campaign circus is not very entertaining except to the news media. Unfortunately, the wrong message is sent to the voting public.
