The Republicans have more phobias than any other political party.

That is a great picture. Rubio needs to take his shoes/boots off before entering the bus to prevent the placement of towels that could present a fall potential.

This week “boots on the ground” (click here) took on a whole new meaning in politics.

A surprising focus on Senator Marco Rubio’s shiny, stack-heeled ankle boots, first noted in a desultory Twitter post on Monday by a New York Times reporter, has grown over the last few days into one of the weirder firestorms of the presidential campaign, with rival candidates and the news media all adding tinder to the flames.

Senator Ted Cruz’s communications director, Rick Tyler, wrote on
Twitter: “A Vote for Marco Rubio Is a Vote for Men’s High-Heeled Booties.” “Rubio has those cute new boots and I don’t want to be outdone,” Senator Rand Paul said before an appearance on “The View.” Carly Fiorina posted a Twitter message with a picture of her own pair of high-heeled boots, with the message “Yeah, @marcorubio, but can you rock these?”

On “Morning Joe,” Joe Scarborough called the footwear “shagalicious.” Vanity Fair played a “guess the brand and cost” game. New York Magazine’s The Cut compared Mr. Rubio to Harry Styles, the One Direction heartthrob. The Daily Mail twinned him with former President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, a noted clotheshorse....

I don't know why Joe Scarborough wasn't called what he obviously is, Homophobic.

Phobias are the very favorite of Republican candidates in it's current vernacular of candidates. Phobias, for Republicans, carries the message most important to their electorate, such as Islamophobia. The Republicans think nothing of causing social tensions in order to insure an aire of superiority to their electorate.

The Republicans' phobias are a show of arrogance.
