Random Soapbox for Saturday 4/2/16

I don't mean to go off on a rant here, but ...

... let's put the wife issue to bed (metaphorically speaking) the only way befitting of the current state of electioneering -- with a special edition of Celebrity Wife Swap.

IMAGINE THE RATINGS!

After all, it's true that we're in a bit of a debate lull, what with Trump and Kasich pulling out of the last one at the last minute, as if they suddenly switched religions and were being good Catholic boys -- and so this would perfectly fit that space.  It's time to embrace that the party is in a reality-show predicament and fight reality show *with* reality show.

One could argue that such an airing would be too similar to the Ted Haggard/Gary Busey swap in that it's just another religious extremist with skeletons in his closet and a guy who is just plain crazy with a wife hotter than one would expect ... but let the public decide with the ratings.

Because you know for damn sure that more people would rubberneck that spectacle if ABC offered it than are planning to vote in the fall.  Come on, Reince Priebus (a name I found by googling "who is the creepy guy in charge of the RNC" ... get crackin' and ... Make.  This.  Happen!

It's what the people want ...

YOU DECIDE ... TOO SIMILAR?:
