once the Repubs properly package and frame those issues, see how many middle class voters will merrily join their ranks...

They run on stopping the radical, wild eyed Kenyan born commie before he steals your guns and Bibles.

i am going to bring your list and ask him directly, right down the list, all 5 points.

That will be fun

They imagine that these are their strong points.

Good luck!

through the electoral process.

not for the long run, but Democrats don't turn out as much in mid-terms. That's how they won in 2010 on the same terrible platform. That combined with extensive gerrymandering and a senate race that just doesn't favor Democrats make for a bad year.

But thankfully we have the presidency.

Otherwise, the platform doesn't matter as much as the R by the name.

We can be outmaneuvered on these off years. That's why we have to make every election count.

Each of those issues will be framed in a way that appeals to their base

1. Minimum wage is what is keeping people from getting jobs. Plus it is socialist.
2. Punish men for being successful? Besides, everyone knows women preferentially choose lower paying vocations
3. Socialism! Obamacare is gonna take away your beloved doctor and put you in front of a death panel, and raise your insurance rates 5,000%. And they'll sic the IRS on you too.
4. Giving a boost to 'them' over 'us' is bad. "They" are all lazy freeloaders who will just get that job over you just because of their skin color, sexual preference or sex.
5. Oh the Babies! Gotta save those innocent Babies! Besides those fornicators should be punished.

All in , but that is essentially how these are framed.

that for the most part they will get away with it.

North Carolina has been taken over by these creeps, and it is killing our state.
