OT - Mea culpa. Jester had it all right, I was quite wrong and way over-optimistic, which puts me on a level with most pro political analysts.

Accordingly, and in acknowledgement to Jester's warning analogy - asking, "Are they just going to throw away the country in spite?", yes they are. 

Let's call it 'wrecks-it' (the country that is.)  I'm going to sleep. Caligula for President? Unreal.
