Here we are in the middle of a Republican presidential campaign that looks like its being run by fifth graders. The fifth graders who are always in the Principal’s office.
There were the hilarious primary moments of “he started it,” between the GOP candidates. Plus all those “I didn’t say that” moment from all of them.
Maybe the most immature and entertaining part of the whole thing was the name calling. Remember? Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had a derogatory nickname for every rival. “Lyin’Ted,” “Low Energy Jeb,” and “Crooked Hillary.”
What a bully.
The Democrats didn’t seem to be quite as babyish, because they couldn’t come up with any mean names. They were the good kids in the fifth grade, even at recess.
Luckily, a conservative talk show host and former good buddy of Donald Trump has stepped up to give the GOP bully his own name. MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough went on a rant about Trump’s continually changing immigration policies. He went on a rant, on the air, calling the candidate “Amnesty Don.”
The nickname went viral on social media.
#AmnestyDon didn't discuss the PROMISE he made to millions of VOTERS! #DontheCon knows he won't build the WALL! Con! https://t.co/vxRu2Vw4Cp

Awesome!
It got even better, though. Rolling Stone reports that Scarborough and his band, Morning Joe Music, have recorded a country song called “Amnesty Don.”
Fantastic, seriously. Before you listen to the song, check out some of these lyrics, so perfect for an elementary school friend fight.
” From out of the West rode a soft and flaccid man,
With fear in his eyes and a burnt orange tan.
He said he’d build a wall for us
But then he up and ran.”
The song has lots of not particularly veiled references to impotence, so the conservatives are keeping up the focus on the truly important issues of the day.
I can’t say that Joe Scarborough is a particular favorite of mine. He is sophomoric, immature, and egotistical. He generally makes me cringe.
That’s why this song is so perfect for the current campaign.
