You cannot publicly ignore the middle class and poor and expect to remain

a viable party

Cruz is just one faction of the ReTHUGs - Rmoney meant what he said - they hate the 47%indeed they hate the 99% and all their contradictions have come to a head - racism, misogyny, the social good, separation of church and state, pro war but anti-taxes.

This was one great week. Fuck all ReTHUGs - the Cruz to oblivion continues.

Socially and politically, I guarantee you (and I) are lower than someone. You used the term "middle class," which implies they are lower than upper class, but higher than lower class.

They don't have squat to appeal to the masses.

All they have is HATE and FEAR.

They're filthy peddlers in hatred and fear, malaise.
