EDITORIAL: The road to BotchaMania LIX is a hilarious one, but angers voters as well
(Heartland Newsfeed) — I sincerely wish I was kidding by calling every single presidential election in our nation’s history as a botch. I’m not. (And for you wrestling fans out there, sorry – I wasn’t referring to the annual botch festival known as WrestleMania….sorry to burst that bubble.)
I couldn’t help but write something after I saw a Facebook post from Libertarian Party national chairman Nicholas Sarwark:
Just in case you don’t quite know what I mean when I refer to the word botch, let me refresh your memory:
(v) to carry out (a task) badly or carelessly.
Similar words: bungle, mismanage, mishandle, fumble, screw up, f*** up
Example: The Democrats botched the Iowa caucus with their many logistical issues, delaying the final vote count by two days.(n) a bungled or badly carried-out task of action.
Similar words: make/made a botch of
Example: The Republicans are making a botch out of their primary election process by cancelling primaries to ensure Trump wins.
