William Buckley forecast this whole freankin thing. But,Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes wanted a Political Party devoid of completion. As well as a Party based Media.

And along came Comcast Corp and their Right wing Media called NBC/MSNBC/MSNBC. Funny how these people try to out do each other in their effort to make Stupid the norm of the USA.

If they'd chosen Creepy Ted Cruz, I bet they'd be leading in the polls right now. They will choose him in 2020.

Now it's only geared towards holding together their base, but that base is a shrinking minority that's now the subject of ridicule.

More and more people are waking up. Even the hard core militia types are starting to realize the nation doesn't consider them to be heroes because they play army in the woods.

... around here who tried a more direct approach.

They'd argue against Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid and a variety of other programs by trying to use "reason."

They apparently weren't very persuasive and thus got replaced by more Limbaugh-like hate and fear-mongers instead.
