Dr. Oz, thankfully not the second-place Democrat
The newest
national Republican primary poll finds Donald Trump at the summit and still climbing, with Ben Carson decisively in second and Jeb! Bush languishing in third with just a single-digit share. All in all, the non-insane/non-absurd GOP candidates take
less than a quarter of the vote. The nutbars rule the roost.
But to truly put this in perspective, what would it look like if the Democratic primary resembled the Republican contest? In a genius comment, sacman701 illustrates this hilarious and disturbing alternate reality:
Bill Maher 32%
Dr. Oz 19%
Ed Rendell 9%
Dennis Kucinich 7%
Keith Olbermann 5%
John Hickenlooper 5%
Wendy Davis 3%
Bernie Sanders 3%
Martin Heinrich 3%
Jay Nixon 2%
Steve Beshear 2%
Thankfully, Democrats' top choices are a former secretary of state and a sitting senator, not a blustering TV gasbag and a dimwitted doctor. But if they were, this is what it would look like!
