Driving through Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma today, I was truly in awe of just how big this country is. I can't say it's all beautiful, but huge swaths of it are absolutely astounding.
I got to see the Flint Hills of Kansas for the first time--miles and miles of untouched rolling black and green hills that comprise a unique national wilderness.
Drivng through Kansas City, I witnessed one of the country's most beautiful cities resplendent in springtime. And I was totally impressed by the magnificent wind farms on the border of Kansas and Oklahoma that seem to go on forever.

Yes, this country is really, really big. But by contrast, the Republican presidential campaign has become really, really small. It is not befitting of a country of such greatness.
It's now boiled down to a pissing match between the party's two leading candidates over whose marriage is sleazier.
Today, The National Enquirer broke a story claiming that it has evidence that Ted Cruz has had at least five affairs while unhappily married to wife Heidi.
In a normal election cycle, this revelation, if true, would sink the candidacy of a bible-thumping right winger like Cruz. This, however, is not a normal election cycle by any stretch of the imagination, and the story may just pass.
Of course, Cruz denies the report and blames it on Donald Trump's close relationship with the editor of the Enquirer--and this is true--by the name of David Pecker.
I'd love to make a hundred off-color remarks about this guy's name, and I'm sure he's heard them all by now, so I won't.
Let's just say that this incredibly mean-spirited attack was stamped for approval by a guy named Pecker.
By name, by nature.
