The Piñata Party

pi-ña-ta |pēnˈyätə|

noun

(esp. in Spanish-speaking communities) a brightly decorated figure of an animal, usually made of papier mâché, containing toys and candy, and hung in the air so that blindfolded children, taking turns swinging sticks and bats, can smash the figure and share the scattered contents as part of the celebration of a birthday or Christmas or other festival.

The ongoing GOP nominating process looks very much like a piñata party, but with modifications:

• There is no need to hang the piñatas. Full of hot air, they rise above the crowd on their own.
• Those hoping to get what's inside are brainwashed adults, not blindfolded children.
• In debates choreographed by Fox "News," brickbats, not sticks or baseball bats will break open the piñatas.
• The hollow candidates contain empty rhetoric, platitudes, and well-rotted bullshit, not candy.
• There will be no sharing. It's winner take all.
