I feel almost sorry for the GOP. Almost.

Their President is a crooked, lying, racist, misogynistic moron who, in all of his inarticulate idiocy, makes Sarah Palin seem Lincolnesque.
A man who, in spite of the GOP voter suppression, the Russian interference, and the heavy media bias toward Trump, still lost the popular vote.

Their wise leaders, the experienced Congressional GOP bench, were defeated by this same Crooked, lying moron. And easily defeated. Trump easily exposed Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, Rand Paul and the others as empty suits spouting slogans. And Trump exposed, once again, the fact that the GOP since 1968 has been the party of racists.


Their economic policies, while posing as debt reducing, worker friendly Bills, are in fact bankrupting the worker and the country.


Their real leaders are media blowhards like Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the FOX News crew.

So I almost feel sorry for them. But I cannot really feel sorry because all of these things are the result of one Party deliberately choosing racism and lunacy as guiding principles.

In spite of shutdowns, obstruction, Russian conspiracy and an onslaught of rightwing nonsense,
it looks like their whole 'drown government in a bathtub' business is backfiring bigly.

They are failing badly, helped by uninformed voters, and openly racist voters.

repigs need to hit the ground hard, they don't know how to govern at all. Many years of us Democrats cleaning up after them. They are evil and those tax cuts they can choke on.

But never underestimate the power of uninformed and/or racist voters to make bad decisions.

BS'ed those voters who voted for him entirely. He played them on their emotions and how they weren't being supported. Well Putin timed it right and went in for the kill, and now we are reaping their uninformed bad decisions.

They all shout at the top of their lungs about their hate, racism, and stupid ideas that they keep rehashing. They are monkeys throwing shit all over the place.
