In the NBC Commander-in-Chief Forum, Donald Trump revealed his plan for the Middle East: Take the oil! He said, "You know, it used to be, to the victor belong the spoils." This pillaging mentality qualifies him for a pirate's eye patch and reminds me of our attorney general, Sean Reyes, and his little black beanie. And our governor, Gary Herbert, is backing Trump's inspired destruction.

What's happening to the Republican Party? Will they soon be sporting Russian flag lapel pins?
