Though there's "2" in the title, there's three this time. "2" just means this is a follow up to
the first one. And check the hashtag

Sen. Lindsey Graham think he should be taken seriously as a presidential candidate because he won by 41 points. He's referring to his party primary. You know, when incumbents normally win by massive margins. By his logic, just about every reelected incumbent qualifies to be president. And he'll bring that same logic to the White House. Or maybe to the Sunday morning beltway talking head shows, which thinks diversity of opinion means alternating Graham and John McCain each week.
At least he knows his agenda should he win, because there are loads of countries we still haven't bombed.
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence wanted his own state news agency. The reception has been poor however, and his staff are backing away like none of them actually worked on it. It's just a "draft"! Yes, a thorough, final, ready to implement next month draft. This is the same guy who walked through a market on Baghdad during the occupation of Iraq to prove Iraq was getting safer --- wearing body armor and accompanied by lots of soldiers while attack helicopters hovered overhead --- and said it was just like any Indiana open air market.
Ben Carson, whose qualification for president is that he'll tell conservatives any loopy bit of craziness they want to hear, says he doubts evolution can be real because Charles Darwin guessed it would take 50-100 years after his time to fill out the evolutionary tree. Given Carson's general lack of alacrity with reality, I'm guessing Darwin never said that. Even if he did, Carson thinks evolution could be all wrong because the scientist who came up with the theory of natural selection 150 years ago guessed wrong at how long it would take to find all human ancestors going to back to amoeba.
Somebody used to let this guy work on brains. Really.
