I never thought I'd see it.

But the Base finally got so crazy, the mainstream voter noticed.

I've been telling people for years how extreme, radical and outright crazy the Republican party has become. I think most thought they were still the party of Eisenhower, Reagan, Dirkson, Rockefeller. Well, they finally put the crazy on parade -- think republican primary debates -- and the verdict is in. Bwahahaha!

I was a Reagan & Perot voter.

But since 2010, they're clearly fantasy-driven.

Tea Party never had answers for anything,
except hating Obama.
