LZ Granderson 2016 GOP Field Looks Like An Intolerant Field
This is all they have folks.....a pack of lies.
We've discovered that they suck when they're in charge....and they're causing problems left and right and fixing none. So all they have left is to tell lies about how Republicans are evil.

On Sunday’s This Week, several members of the show’s political panel took some cheap shots at the GOP and CNN contributor LZ Granderson argued that the 2016 GOP presidential contenders look like an “intolerant field.”
The anti-GOP discussion started with political commentator Cokie Roberts proclaiming that the GOP may have 19 potential presidential candidates but they “don’t appeal to diverse America.”
After Matthew Dowd, former chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign, defended the Republican’s chances of winning the White House in 2016, liberal commentator LZ Granderson eagerly trashed the “intolerant” GOP field:
The truth of the matter is is that for a lot of millennials, young people, diverse America as you said, people haven't brought this issue up so far today, but the fact of the matter is, is that the Republican field still looks like an intolerant field.
And we saw that during what was going on with Indiana and this religious right bill that’s really just an anti-gay
bill. Young Americans are going to walk into the polls, walk into the booth and ask themselves, am I going to vote for discrimination or am I not going to vote for discrimination. And that is one of the reasons why the GOP continues to struggle to win the general election because they keep holding on to this image and politics of discrimination and exclusion and not inclusion.
Cokie Roberts piled on and insisted that the GOP was all about exclusion when it came to immigration. Matthew Dowd attempted to defend the Republican Party, but ended up sounding like the rest of the liberals on the panel and accused them of having a problem with “intolerance”:
