Jon Stewart: GOP wins with Democratic playbook? (VIDEO)


The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart and Jessica Williams points out a rather interesting irony on the huge Republican win this week. On the more popular races, the Republican Party looked as diverse and fresh as the Democratic Party. Actually, it seemed quite a bit fresher.

The modus operandi of flirting with diversity by the GOP in visible places has been an ongoing marketing exercise. Will the shear gravitational pull of that marketing eventually become reality? Was last this election the start? Or, will it be Jessica’s Monday morning regret?

This skit is funny. It is worth looking at the deeper message within and what it means for both parties.

message while the Dems were playing the old GOP playbook: the GOP is evil, for the rest, trust us.

And from what I can see, they will continue until 2016. So we can only hope the GOP come back to its old habits.
