TAPPER: Welcome back. Someone said we don't win anymore. Must not be watching the Americans swim in Rio tonight. That was a quote -- a tweet from former presidential candidate John Kasich, trolling Donald Trump a bit, I guess, on Twitter this weekend. But it's hard to argue that American greatness has not been on display at this Olympics. Our athletes seem to be even a little bit more sportsmanlike than our candidates. And that's all the subject of this week's "State of the Cartoonion."</s>TAPPER (voice-over): It happens only once every four years. A test of endurance, strength and skill. I'm talking about the presidential election of course and it has more in common with the summer Olympics than you might think. OK. So we aren't likely to see Clinton and Trump in their Speedos. But they will go toe to toe in the debates in a few weeks. Swimmer Michael Phelps had an in the zone moment with his famous Phelps' face. Will Clinton and Trump follow suit? What events might they be good at? Hillary Clinton's tortured explanations about her email server, might make her good for women's gymnastics, contortioning. And of course Mr. Trump an expert at the self-inflicted wounds. OK. So these candidates are unlikely to be mistaken for athletes anytime soon but you have to give them credit for running in a race so long it puts marathons to shame and there is no silver medal.</s>TAPPER: Thanks for spending your Sunday with us. You can catch me here every Sunday and weekdays on "THE LEAD" at 4:00 p.m. Eastern. Go to CNN.com/SOTU for extras from the show. I'm Jake Tapper in Washington. "FAREED ZAKARIA GPS" is next.
