I think the GOP is on the way out.

After the '12 drubbing and the loss of some state races due to intolerance, extremism, and an authoritarian, hard-ass attitude you'd think they'd learn.

I was listening to a radio commercial here in the Midwest sponsored by some conservative group and talking about immigration reform. In a nutshell the commercial said, literally, "Learn English and get to the back of the line."

Yeah, that's the way to engage a population you will HAVE to have in the near future to win even dogcatcher.

Never enough for we DU'ers of course, but enough to keep things competitive. I thought they were toast after Nixon but nope.
