Even Conservative Voters Can’t Stand The Republican Party

[GoLeft TV]

The latest poll numbers coming out should be a wake up call for the Republican establishment, as they show that even Republican voters are turned off by the Party. This is a bad place for the GOP to be with an election one year away, but it seems unlikely that the Party leadership will reign in their crazies to appease the voters.

Ring of Fire’s Mike Papantonio and Farron Cousins discuss this.

1. This is, in part...

just the little cry-baby right wingnut wackos' way of trying to force the GOP ALL the way over to their no-compromise bunker vision for America.

2. I have enjoyed watching some very strident Republicans fall silent over the past decade

I doubt they have moved and inch philosophically, but they won't speak a word or give a dime in support of the present day Republican Party.

3. I Still Like Pap and Farron's Theory of the Coming Fire Sale of the Republican Party.

In other words, the Koch brothers and other billionaire donors are perfectly aware of the crazymaking, radicalizing effect that their money is having on the party, and want to turn it into a failed party, which they can then buy up for pennies on the dollar. Then it will become a fully owned Koch subsidiary. Step three will then be a Koch presidency.

If the corporations and Wall Street already have de facto control over the mainstream of the Democratic Party, then they can afford to do whatever they want to the GOP. Plan A or Plan B - whoever wins, they win. But watch out for Plan C - Bernie Sanders! That's the one Plan that they can't control, and the only real option for the American people.

4. The moderate republicans are named...

Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee. They happen to be running in the Democratic primary. When John Kasich is the closest thing to a moderate on the other side, that is not good news for that party.
