My dog is trained to respond to the doorbell when it rings. During last night’s Republican debate, the candidates repeatedly went over their time limit.

The timer signal sounded just like our doorbell.

Thus he barked through most of the debate, no doubt also agitated by the shouting and buffoonery on stage.

He looks kind of presidential, don’t you think?
