What person in her right mind could vote for anyone in the Republican Party?

[realFedUp]

His right mind too. The country, employment and markets do better when there is a Dem admin. The rich made millions during Clinton. Obama has helped unemployment, health insurance coverage,
Republicans usually get us into deficits and undeclared war costs. What is good about electing a Republican for our future?
I know some Republicans are born into Rethug families and like wearing red pants in the summer and can't veer from that tradition, but can't they use the brain matter they inherited?
I find no use for them except for their occasional good opinion about wine.

2. If Republican Dwight Eisenhower was running against Democrat Diane Feinstein....

There would be some interesting debates.

4. On a lot of issues, Ike would be on the left of that debate.

3. It used to be the case that some people thought that if you voted for the rich, you

would somehow get rich yourself. Well, we all saw how that turned out.

But I guess a few people still believe it...

[realFedUp]

6. Still not voting for own interests

I guess the Republican social and religious mind think overtakes intelligence.

[CTyankee]

8. But, see, if you believe that voting republican will make you rich, then THAT is

your "own interests." See how that works? No? Neither do I but we're Democrats...

7. Kicking coz I can

9. There are lots of reasons.

Pro-life people vote Republican.
Homophobic people vote Republican.
Some evangelical Christians vote Republican.
Business owners who want their taxes lowered and don't want unions and don't want increases to the minimum wage vote Republican.
Business owners who benefit from a weakened EPA vote Republican.
Wealthy people who want tax breaks vote Republican.
People who want to carry assault rifles vote Republican.
People who hate having a black president vote Republican.
People who believe that poor people "don't deserve handouts" vote Republican.

In other words, lots of people.

10. Right minds and voting for today's Republicans never cross.

11. I've stopped trying to figure it out.

There are a lot of stupid people in the world and propaganda works.

12. To keep the Democrats out...

Most Republicans think the Democrats are trying to take their guns away. Republicans think the Democrats are attacking their religion. They hate that abortion is legal. They want a wall on the Mexican border and deport illegal aliens. They hate Iran and don't want peace with them. etc, etc...

And a pretty large number of Americans are in agreement with them. At least 45% of this country will vote for whoever the GOP nominates just to keep Hillary out.

13. I don't know a Republican

who has voted FOR another Republican in a very long time. They are too busy voting against the Democrats.
