It occurs to me, looking over the 2016 Senate election map — where you see a bunch of Republicans up with a a grouplet of vulnerable Republican seats and a smaller bunch of Democrats and one or two vulnerable Democratic seats…

determining whether you’re getting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell or Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer …

But it occurs to me… There aren’t any wackos, or semi-wackos, or novelty figures out there.

You would think somewhere down south– out of the nature of an electorate full of long-forgotten Democrats who’ve switched parties but not registration and stuck with entrenched incumbents– you’d get your Alvin Greenes and Jim Rogers.  Or, a bit more upscale, Mississippi Democrats having to settle for an octogernarian Albert Gore, or that truck driver who was their candidate for governor.  (Brown, as his name?)

Or your weird White Nationalist dude, or that weird John Bircher Ron Paul ish guy who ran to the right of Lindsey Graham…

No perennials of the Bob Kelleher type for the Republicans.

It’s all exasperating, and the only thing I can say is… (1) Well, maybe I have to stop at the top of the ballot. for this type of jollies.  (2) Or… down lower on the ballot.  (3) Still a few more primaries to go, maybe?
