Growltiger's Suspenders
By Growltiger* 
(Some quality election satire by GT...Ed)
 
Growltiger is suspending her campaign for the presidency, but she is going to hang on to all the Siamese, Burmese, Abyssinian, Maine Coon, Angoras, Persians and Manx delegates who voted for her in the primaries. So like Jeb! and Marco and Carly and Lindsey and Bobby and Scott and Rick, she'll do her part for the good of the establishment country and join the conservative Stump Trump movement in order to restore rule by Democrats whether they win elections or not. (See the Paul Ryan budget of 2015).

It became evident after last Tuesday's primaries that the cool cat does not have a path to the nomination. She considered staying in the race like Governor Kasich who has only a slightly better chance than she, but the party needs her feline supporters to block Trump. So like her buddies, she will sell out on the second round of balloting to whomever promises her the cushiest job. (She would like a job lobbying on K Street for cat food manufacturers who employ illegal immigrants).

Growltiger unfortunately cannot endorse any candidate at this time since none of her opponents on either side of the aisle offers the whole package of her platform from picking a fight with Putin to selling out to any country who wants "free" trade with us, to ensuring that hedge fund managers keep their carried interest so they don't have to pay the same income tax rate as salaried Americans which would then cut funding of politicians (See Robert Mercer's funding of Ted Cruz's campaign-[1]) and destroy the jobs of political operatives like Karl Rove.

While most of Growltiger's opponents do not object to corporations moving overseas in order to increase their profit and all of them advocate continuing the open borders policy which provides low-cost labor for businesses and corporations which then increases the salaries of CEO's which then trickles down to the Americans who wait on them, not all the candidates support invading, bombing and taking sides in the civil wars in the Middle East, and that poses a problem for an military-industrial complex which has grown reliant on perpetual war.

All Growltiger's opponents except Donald Trump favor inviting every citizen of the Third World to come live with us. Growltiger understands that many Americans oppose America's open door policy, especially for those who openly avow to murder us when they get here, but Americans must realize they have been spoiled for too long and need to sacrifice for the good of the rest of the world. America uses too much electricity, has too many automobiles, burns too much fossil fuel and Americans' standard of living is too high. This is a thumb in the eye to the rest of the world, especially a Pope who just might be the Twelfth Imam the Muslims have been waiting for all this time.

Not endorsing did not come easily as everyone with the exception of Donald Trump is an excellent candidate.  Bernie for instance favors open borders and amnesty and will give free everything to everybody except for those who pay taxes, but he cannot be counted on to invade or bomb anybody. So, sorry, Bernie. Growltiger cannot endorse you.

Secretary Clinton would give as much free stuff away as Bernie, advocates open borders and amnesty in order to increase Democrats' votes and keep them in power for the next two centuries (if America lasts that long) and, unlike Bernie, can be counted on to bomb away in the Middle East. But Ms. Clinton's record on after the bombing isn't good. Rather than occupy Libya as George W. Bush did Iraq and Afghanistan, Ms. Clinton abandoned the poor Libyans to their fellow Libyans and did not bring them all to Pennsylvania. So Growltiger cannot support her either. Occupying countries is a good thing. It provides even more immigrants for the United States to absorb.

That leaves Cruz and Kasich, and Growltiger can't decide between them. Senator Cruz can be counted on to welcome immigrants since he is one. (Cruz was born in Canada and didn't relinquish his Canadian citizen ship until 2014 [3]) and Senator Kasich already has vowed to give amnesty within the first 100 days of his administration to the 15 million who've already sneaked across the border. Both can be relied upon to protect hedge fund operators' profits (1) and Super Pacs  (2) which guarantees a continuation of the status quo. Given their party affiliation, both probably are open to more bombs and bullets, but unlike President Obama would take care of the veterans after they get shot down or blown up.

But not endorsing another candidate doesn't mean the Growler won't participate in piling on Donald Trump and all the ignorant, uneducated, vulgar, appalling, selfish, ingrate fools who support him. She'll join her fellow Republicans, Cruz, Kasich and Rubio in denouncing him for ticking off MoveOn, Soros, Bill Ayers, Black Lives Matter, left wing students and Bernie supporters, and forcing them to protest Trump's free speech when everyone knows how peaceful and accommodating they are generally.

Trump is no conservative. He is too conservative. He is not a moderate. He's too moderate. He's mean to Megyn Kelly. His supporters are jerks, reprobates, Nazis, fascists and Romulans. It is rumored he met with Klingons. He doesn't have endorsements, at least none of which we in the establishment approve. He refuses to take personal responsibility for the actions of every one of the the 10 to 20 thousand people who show up at his rallies, some of whom might not be nice people. He takes to a podium which then causes peaceful protesters to attack him which puts them in danger from Secret Service agents. He speaks whole paragraphs without disavowing David Duke or any other unsavory he does not know personally who might have said something positive or noncommittal about him. He is mean to Megyn Kelly.

His building and running a multibillion dollar enterprise is no example of his executive ability. He has had failed businesses which should disqualify him as an executive. In the 1990's, he tried to use eminent domain in New Jersey which should be a capital offense, at least if Trump is involved. That he lost the case is immaterial. That the owner lived in the house until 2010 is immaterial. That the house was sold and demolished in 2014 (4) is immaterial. It does not fit the meme.

Trump lost the Ohio primary to its sitting governor which means he's vulnerable in the general election. He did not lose Florida to its sitting senator means he's vulnerable in the general election. And he's mean to Megyn Kelly.

Trump has too much money. He doesn't have as much money as he says he has. He advocates restoring America's borders, won't give amnesty to those illegally here and believes Muslims who might want to kill us might not be allowed into the country in order to do so. Those alone should disqualify him. Besides, he's mean to Megyn Kelly.
