Democrats Are Trolling Republicans with Sick Political Burns
After the auspicious stepping-down of former tan mom/emotional dad John Boehner, and the subsequent withdrawal of speaker candidate Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican party is at a loss, grasping for straws — or anyone who will volunteer to lead the party. Meanwhile, the Democrats are having a jolly good laugh at the whole thing, seizing the golden opportunity to seem “personable” — not in calculated way.
Rep. Mark Takano’s (D-Calif.) created a fake ad for “Speaker of the House” that they posted on Craiglist on Thursday night, likely met with a tidal wave of high-faves from his staffers.

Charles Rangel, a representative from New York, opted for a joke about a smoothie.

Why be a politician when you could just be a comedian??
