Stephen Colbert Had Way Too Much Fun Pulling Apart The Republican Race Last Night
Or, as he's dubbing it, "Shot/Poison 2016".
As the 2016 US election race continues to savagely bulldoze its way through history, flinging the debris of every other American issue effortlessly over its shoulder, comedians and TV hosts everywhere are positively rolling in their own happiness — specifically, because of the totally eclipsing and insane Republican Party.
Republicans have to nominate their presidential candidate a mere six months from now, but they’re getting further and further away from having the slightest clue which loose unit to choose. What’s more, as Stephen Colbert pointed out on The Late Show last night, the utterly bizarre public favourites are far from being party member favourites.
Absolutely relishing another fairly regular opportunity to have a dig at leading candidate and skewered mongoose Donald Trump, Colbert also threw current runner-up and bad roommate Ted Cruz into the mix to gleefully focus on the party’s mesmerising public meltdown.
Using snapshots of proof from conservative media and politicians, he shows how both frontrunners are loathed so much by the rest of their party that the establishment is at the risk of implosion. But, despite one Republican senator pledging to vote for Bernie Sanders over Cruz, and the entire National Review railing against them, “Crump” probably aren’t going down without a weird, almost certainly physically violent fight.
Hoo boy:
CANNOT UNSEE.
RIP, everyone.
