Letting Breitbart take demagogic control of the Republican bid for the presidency
What?
No, what has led to the downfall of the Republican Party is their incessant pandering to the dumbest, least informed, least educated, and most fearful and superstitious social conservative Americans. The entire primary wasted by pretending "Obama has destroyed the nation," and by repeating over and over and over how "I will defeat ISIS, no,
I will,
no I will defeat ISIS, no,
me!
I WILL DEFEAT ISIS!" By pumping the anti-abortion rhetoric until people are about to vomit. Too much time spent appealing to social conservatives. They stood up there and publicly sacrificed their own credibility, again, voluntarily, seemingly intentionally.
They keep drumming up a bunch of premature excitement for who they think is going to be the next rockstar Republican that everyone loves, like Reagan was. Palin. Nope, idiot. Jindal. Nope, Kermit the Frog can't give a speech without sounding like a kindergarten teacher. Trump! Yeah right. Bachmann? Nope, bat**** weird. Ben Carson, nope, bat**** weird. Cruz? No thanks to the creepy preacher with the punchable face. Romney or Rubio? Dead inside. Fiorina? Maybe if she'd held any elected office before and didn't go floridly psychotic with the anti-abortion rhetoric.
It's been so pathetic and so painful to watch. They just need one single intelligent, articulate, no bull**** person who can appeal to reason, doesn't blare the war horn all the ****ing time or constantly appeal to fearful religious dingbats, and who has at least a little bit of personality and charisma, and isn't a clown or a gaffe machine. There are 150 million people to choose from, why is that so hard?
