Throughout this long and increasingly nightmarish primary season, an argument emerged from Republican candidates who were routinely getting their butts handed to them by Donald Trump.

What do you say? What do you say when the unthinkable happens?

There were two stories that emerged from last night’s Republican debate: 1. The matchup between Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, arguing over immigration policy and foreign policy (Cruz: no amnesty, build a wall, bomb ISIS while somehow not harming innocents. Rubio: eventual legalization of illegal immigrants, strengthen borders, work with Arab partners to defeat ISIS, more troops).

I should begin by clarifying that I am no political reactionary.

That’s what Syria is — our morally bankrupt foreign policy, impossible to escape, impossible to fix.

Perhaps you’ve noticed that Democrats and Republicans aren’t getting along so well these days.

All this means that, for the first time since 1992, a third-party candidate has a very strong chance of impacting election results. And if something truly wild were to happen (say, no candidate broke the 270-electoral vote mark needed to win the presidency), then there’s an outside chance that a third-party could actually win the White House.

Every legal system in the world recognizes gradations of bad behavior.

This last Friday happened to be the inauguration of President Donald Trump.

It's finally Friday, which means it's time to have a little fun.
