This is basically the republican ideology wrapped up in a microcosm. Hmm, cutting taxes for big business and having the poorest people fit the bill for everything hasn't worked yet...but damnit, we are going to find a way to make it work and keep trying!

Any possibility that the repubs could nominate somebody that the dems could get on board with? Like a moderate republican fetching 50% of the dems and getting things going again? or do you think they'll just stand in unity and allow the repubs to dismantle themselves?

best line:
And if you want to understand the Republican Party’s growing hostility to free and fair elections — to the idea that the party should abide by the will of the majority — you should look no further than its extraordinarily poor standing with the two youngest groups of Americans.

When you’re no longer sure you can win on a level playing field, it’s harder to sustain any enthusiasm for democracy.
