1. Cable reception in million dollar doomsday bunkers iffy at best.

2. Uncle Willy says so and he is always right.

3. Duck Dynasty

4. Donald Trump will offer Miley Cyrus 5 mill to twerk sumtin on Fox News eventually.

5. When you mentioned poll results they thought you meant fishing pole.

So what do you think, why does the right seem to think this government shut down will benefit them?

Seriously, the overt sexism I've heard Republicans spew at Hillary may even exceed the overt racism I've heard them hurl at Obama, probably because conservatives have more strongly internalized the latter as a taboo. "Wrinkled b-----" is a pretty typical refrain I've heard from otherwise educated Republicans.

6. I don't understand the Republican fear of Hillary after all Rush Limbaugh has a mangina.

lol.

4. #9. Because those bastards think we'll forget ALL about this.

[Liberalynn]

7. That's why we will have to keep reminding everyone

no matter who our nominee ends up being.

5. Let's hope the Dems recover as well

She lost her first primary for a reason.

8. Timing is everything

I hope they recover too, but it seems the time has come for Hillary. imo.

15. America used to have an aversion to dynasties

Ask our founding fathers.

9. Hillary already won?!

The primary and the general election! Wow!

[Johnny Ready]

11. Well, I am an optimist and psychic. :)

[HappyMe]

14. lol!

This kind of thing is ridiculous at this point.

It's pretty damn stupid to underestimate the teabag/repug people.

[Puzzledtraveller]

16. I see the use of a time machine here.

Possibly a Delorean.

10. The Repugs are in a lot of trouble.

They face a demographic tsunami and there aren't enough ways to disenfranchise their opponents.

12. You would never know it by talking to them. The beauty of a delusional mind. nt

13. Don't get me wrong, guys....

... I'm as glad to see this meltdown as any Dem... but if there's one thing we've learned about the real power brokers on the right in the last 30 years, its that they learn and adapt - and NEVER quit. Carville wrote a book in 2008 about how we were looking at 40 years of democratic rule after Obama was elected. And in 2010, they won the House. We can't afford to underestimate these slimy bastards.

17. Or the corporatist mindset

also bleeds into us and though we may elect a (D) instead of an (R) they all serve the same. We remain divided and conquered.

18. So who do you think is calling the shots?

Which 'power broker' thought Palin was a good idea?
Which 'power broker' thought Romney was a good idea?
Which 'power broker' thought shutting down the government was a good idea?

Face it, no one is calling the shots at the GOP. They are floundering around like a corpse with a trillion volts of electricity shooting through it.

20. Sorry for the late response...

... out of town and un-wired for a few days.

I believe the TEA party was an astro-turf effort by the traditional republicans - Rove, et al. - to harness votes. It worked in 2010, and allowed them to cripple the Obama administration in many ways. Can you imagine how different our country might be today if Democrats had kept a majority in the House?

Now, admittedly, the TP has gotten out of control, and has become a nuisance to the party. But that has happened before. The religious right rose to some power in the 20s and 30s last century, and the John Birch Society had wider acceptance than you might think in the 50s and 60s, as I recall (I might have a decade or two wrong there, and don't have time to google).

But the core of the party is still there - motivated and well financed. Don't think for a minute that they aren't spending their time now trying to figure out how to re-shape themselves and turn things to their advantage. They're not all idiots waiving confederate flags and misspelling rally signs. Those are simply the ones that make it on the news.

19. Good point. Never under estimate your opponent.

Although if your opponent will disparage 47% of the populace and cut food stamps during the worst economic downturn since the great depression, you probably have a solid chance at winning.
