I see John McAfee is running, and oooooh Stantis beating the drum for Vermin Supreme would make Prickly City interesting for the first time since he decided to speak out against waterboarding in like...2004. Is Vermin Supreme a libertarian? He doesn't seem embarrassing enough.

Welcome friends, to a distant time back in... We're going to start with a look at the fallen. The primary candidates whose star burned out back in 2011, but they were hilarious enough to merit discussion before we jump into 2012 itself. So get comfy, and let's begin:  Cain 1Here it is: the flash in the pizza pan campaign of Herman Cain. It's time.  Cain 2Cain was rising in popularity, and he did have the poll numbers to back it up. Did the GOP have its Obama?  Cain 3Cain's experience was that he owned a pizza chain. Other business experience too, but everyone focused on pizza chains. Lots of goddamn pizza cartoons I'm sparing you from.  Cain 4Just a reminder that Gorrell was somehow lazier in 2011. Yeesh  Cain 5  Cain 6Okay, enough messing around. Cain's shtick was his 9-9-9 plan, which was a 9% rate for Sales, Income, and Corporate Tax. If you are familiar with the Fair Tax, 9-9-9 was another GOP plan to massively slash taxes for the rich under the disguise of a It's So Simple and Easy tax plan to try and rope in the lower classes who'd be footing the bill.  Cain  You knew this was coming. One reason they loved Cain is because they can show how Democrats are the REAL racists. This McCoy Lesser cartoon was released when news first hit about women coming forward to accuse Cain of a slew of sexual crimes.  Cain 7Surprisingly, cartoonists who had been kissing his rear end didn't take too long to turn.  Cain 8  Cain 9-9-9Around late November, Cain would "reassess his campaign" and pretty much gently caress off. Cain gets the most coverage here because things went so fast from adoration to Memory Hole. He's also a new face in a primary that was mostly microwaved leftovers from 2008. But don't worry, Trump gave him a seat on the Federal Reserve back in early 2019   Christie 1Chris Christie was a rising star in the GOP, but we'll discuss his downfall and eventual future as a 2016 Vine joke later.  Christie 2Yes, I am posting this because I had to endure 500 Occupy Wall Street cartoons and am left with a need to inflict suffering.  Rick 1Rick Perry's brief primary run was a hilarious comedy of errors. First, he released this...thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxzONeK1OwQ  Rick 2Then he had an absolutely embarrassing debate performance. It's 2011 now, so Youtube has better preserved these moments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN8uFJz9gTk  Rick 3Seriously, so loving lazy.  Rudy & FredThese jokers got more buzz in the previous election, although I think Muir was super horny for Fred even in 2011. It's worth noting that even in 2011, Rudy's reputation was fading, and it would have been wise for him to just coast on the Brave Mayor feel-good vibes the public had for him after 9/11. But I guess scumbags have a natural instinct for the gutter.  MitchMitch Daniels was...really popular among some conservatives? I dunno, he never even registered on my radar back then, but he's a former governor of Indiana and I guess pissed off conservatives by wanting to take the focus away from social issues so they can knuckle down on what really matters: making the rich even richer. In May 2011 he declined to run after much speculation.  PalinPalin flirted with running for a period, but eventually she nixed it to almost nobody's interest. At this point her political resume included a failed vice presidency campaign, abandoning a governorship halfway into the term for no discernible reason, and...a short-lived reality TV series? Yeah, she knew the real money wasn't in politics; not when you can just blather on Fox for 15 minutes for easy checks.  Trump 1I guess I can't avoid bringing this up. Yes, Trump tried throwing his hat in the ring back in 2012. What a joke!  Trump 2His mulling over running was seen as a vanity campaign. Good thing the GOP is full of vain creatures.  Trump 3If Trump's campaign had any substance, if we assume literally anything counts as "substance", then it was his revival of the birther phenomenon. But the conspiracy had lost mainstream appeal among conservatives, and it didn't help that Obama released the goddamn long form birth certificate within a WEEK of Osama bin Laden's death. So yes Virginia, there was a period in time when Trump was seen as a clown by most of the country. And yes, there were 50 "hurr where's the death certificate" cartoons.  Trump 4I...don't remember this, but I guess at one point Trump was going to moderate a primary debate in December. That, however, would require effort and focus on people who are not Trump, so he dipped.  Trump 5It was tempting to do a “What a difference eight years make.” montage showing these cartoonists dismissing Trump as a grifter, and then present their cartoons today as they burn what scraps of dignity they have left to defend his crimes.  Trump 6Branco, however, never had dignity so this parses.  Trump 7So farewell to thee, Trump. You'll come back in four years, and next time you'll make sure to bring hip and cool racism. That’s it for 2011. Some people like Bachmann also tried and failed, but this post is already massive. I wanted to start the feature with a bang, however, so I hope you enjoyed this chunky post. Next Week: Everyone Hates Romney! Rick Santorum forces me to discuss Dan Savage. Do you remember when Iran got nukes in 2011? Hollering about Merrick Garland a lot. And a New England Patriot worse than Tom Brady. Yes, I know he was with the Broncos during that season, shut up.

Man I had forgotten that Rick Perry was once the Great White Hope of the Republican party and that Trump had been laughed out of the 2012 Primary Doesn't even mention that Trump did a Thing and just reheats some old Obama Iran Nuclear Deal hate.

The 2012 Republican primaries were great. It was a parade of idiots, each being the next THIS IS THE GUY followed quickly by their downfall as Republicans went through candidate after candidate searching for the not-Romney before they all settled finally on Romney.

Jagged Jim posted:Doesn't even mention that Trump did a Thing and just reheats some old Obama Iran Nuclear Deal hate. It's honestly like how news outlets write about police shootings. Trump can never be at fault for anything, so don't even mention him when he does something bad. Just focus on all the details surrounding the bad thing without ever once mentioning his involvement. I mean, it's also Garrison, so those details are mostly horseshit, but still.

The only one of those Britoons that isn't a fine example of the craft is maybe the Rowson, but the others really are just solid pieces, and even that one is actually well-drawn. Do no Yankees come close to that level of talent? We're just cursed with hacks, geeze.

It's weird because Brits drive in the wrong side of the road, so normally in Britain, it would be "stand left". The sign and Trump are right-way-drive, but the relative position of the up and down escalators is still wrong-way-drive.

I think Brits still employ their cartoonists while the Americans are all freelance at like 50 bucks a comic regardless of quality. Either that or wholly self published.

It shouldn't surprise me I guess. Why would you not use the same system as cars for escalators? Like, slow/stand on the outside (that would be left for Brits) and fast/walk/run on the inside (your right). Yes, I care a lot about keeping right (or left in the Commonwealth).
