Yes, They Finally Have Gone Crazy

Very little surprise, really.  But the RNC (Republican National Convention) has endorsed Donald Trump as their presidential candidate.

This is who they think is presidential material:

Donald Trump Sexism Tracker: Every Offensive Comment in One Place.

Even Jon Stewart came our of retirement to weigh in on the decision.

Social media has a near-constant stream of videos and cartoons making various connections with certain unsavory historical figures.  Here is one.

Another discusses the rise of Hitler in pre-WWII Germany and leaves the viewer to draw his/her own conclusions.

His acceptance speech has even been subjected to some "fact checking".

Trump, of course, has been whipping up sentiment over immigration.  Talk of a wall along the Mexican border spawned this tiny wall around Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame Star.



Some cartoons make fun of the content of his speeches.


And then there are the more "serious" analyses.


Buzzfeed posted a video comparing the American candidate to Canada's current Prime Minister.

Even the Calvin & Hobbes cartoons are getting into the act.


This is going to be the main topic of conversation for the next few months.  The election is in November.  With everything else that's been happening south of the 49th recently, one might well ask: "What next"?
