a party cannot win with just bitter uneducated rubes
Pundits left, right and center have been cautioning for years that the GOP would be placed in a political squeeze by its hardline stance on the ACA. Gay marriage used to be a wedge issue driving Karl Roveās voters to the polls; now itās a thorn in the elephantās side and a major public image problem. The shrill cries of Benghazi barely even excite their own base anymore. And the national Republican party hasnāt even given its own voters a positive agenda it would enact if it held the White House. After all, cutting Social Security, Medicare, food stamps and unemployment benefits isnāt a terribly attractive policy platform for a party utterly dependent on older, less educated suburban and rural white voters. What else are Republicans actually offering the public as a credible policy platform? What are they even offering to their own base?
What a party circling the drain looks like
the white christian party
