Samuel --

A group of lions is a pride. A group of cows a herd. Ants form colonies and larks -- this one's my favorite -- gather in an exaltation. So what did we see when 15 Republican candidates gathered at the Reagan Library? What do right-wing Republicans travel in?

A nightmare.

Wednesday night, we heard from a nightmare of Republicans who think they have what it takes to be the next President of the United States. One of the best moments was when CNN's Jake Tapper asked them what they'd like to be their Secret Service codename. (My old boss Bill Clinton was Eagle -- and, by the way, a gathering of eagles is a convocation.) Mike Huckabee said, "Duck Hunter," Dr. Ben Carson said, "One Nation," and Sen. Rand Paul said, "Justice Never Sleeps." Whatever. If any of them find their way to the Oval Office, we ought to call him or her "Prayer," 'cause that's what we'll have to rely on to survive.

But let me tell you something, Samuel: Each and every one of them is wrong about their future employment opportunities. And here's why:

For months, we've heard outrageously offensive comment after outrageously offensive comment spring forth from Donald Trump's mouth -- and yet he's still the frontrunner, because no matter how ridiculous he gets, none of the other hopefuls will stand up and disagree with him. He's preaching to their base and pretty much everyone else is following his anti-immigrant, anti-Latino, anti-woman lead.

So we can't allow anyone on their side to win. They have the anger -- and Lord knows they have the money -- but we have the people. Say you'll pitch in $3 or whatever you can to help elect Democrats who'll stop this crowd.
