(946 posts)and it's this: "All of those liberal policies are bad and hurting america! Vote for us!"
And that's it. All they have is "that stuff is bad, so we're not going to do that!" Their voters can't think past a one sentence statement, so it works very well for them. If republicans were pushed for what they were going to do, they'd have to answer "whatever it is, it's not liberal policies, cuz they're bad!"

(3,811 posts)Deport Immigrants. Eliminate "Job Killing" Environmental Regulations. Expand Coal, Oil, and Gas Production. Stop "Punishing Success" and Cut Taxes for Hard Working Successful Americans. These are their ideas for the "middle class".
All the old favorites. They're not gone. Trump's made them popular again. The "good" Republicans -- the saner ones -- they'll hold their noses and vote for the party. Meanwhile, Trump's outlandish demagoguery or Carson's absurd persona will energize new or lapsed conservative voters.
A major public opinion survey last week found that GOP leaning voters are generally satisfied with the lineup of candidates. They neither hear about nor care about our ridicule, and if they do, it only strengthens their resolve.
The White House is our only sure hope right now. A win for Sanders or Clinton would be a huge win for all Democrats. Losing the White House would be a huge loss.

(11,443 posts)for Hillary. They all have drivers licenses and ACORN has registered them to vote. That and the 47 percent of the US citizens that refuse to work and get everything free from the government. Using that logic, we should totally control Congress with a massive majority.
