If we had a Louisiana Saturday Night Live television program you could have written this as the perfect cold opening - funny, some might say the funniest. Seriously, I wonder if it might not be time for the ADVOCATE to stop printing Letters to the Editor from people running for office.

Well you know it’s a parody because Trump never forgives. He does forget a lot but never forgives.

My sentiments exactly! He might write something similar to this, but when it comes down to the nut cutting? He will turn around and whole heartedly endorse whoever he has chosen to run against Bill in the primary. In his little mind, there MUST be blood.

He forgives, but it requires a blood sacrifice and at least a month of flagellation with a Trump brand flogger

The Cassidy letter is more of a parody.

Guess our children’s health is not as important as this sick endorsement. It ensures my vote for the other candidate.

I became a Republican - or, as I call myself, a RINO - just so that I could vote in this (and other) Republican primaries.

Had me going there! The actual endorsement might not be far off….

Well, to the point - virtually EVERYTHING in Louisiana politics these days is a parody (of reality).

Trump has been known to endorse more than one of the candidates in the same primary.

Sounds like a resounding endorsement.

Brilliant, Bob; or (another article by) 'Brilliant Bob'!!! As I was reading, I had to scroll back up to the title and subtitle twice to be sure I was not reading a direct quote of Trump endorsing Cassidy. I was laughing hysterically when I saw 'Cassidy Crawl'! Genius!!!

Bill Cassidy has a nose so brown it gave Trump a deeper examination than his proctologist

Sad commentary on the human condition and today's political realities. Still threre us something worthwhile in seeing the truth plain and simple and no longer deniable. What a small figure this guy turned out to be: his tail wagging in the air, elbows moving forward on the floor "step by step," hands held out with palms up in pleading. If the picture includes Trump making the sign of the cross over his head, include me in it, throwing up.
