The Republican presidential candidates’ reactions to the State of the Union speech given by the person who currently holds the job they’re angling for can best be summed up by Rand Paul, still steaming from the news that his poll numbers are too low for him to qualify for the next varsity debate.
“I wish that tonight he would announce, ‘hey guys, I’ve really been a failure as a president over the last seven years and I’m gonna take off early so cause I want to go play golf.’
That was before the speech. No, nobody had a sudden bout of graciousness after hearing the president talk, either:
What is Mike Huckabee’s appeal, at this point? He’s an off-rack Trump, and the political world wasn’t really crying out for an off-rack Trump.
Dr. Ben Carson wants to be in charge of the United States response to both. Have good dreams tonight, kids!
You should listen to Jeb on this, because Jeb is the JV captain of the Bush family.
Rand Paul, on the other hand, appears to have been partaking in a drinking game of his own invention.
And what of Donald Trump, the insult comic candidate?
There you go: your would-be leaders of the free world, America. Again, sweet dreams.
