The Reagan revolution is over

Scalia is dead; Fox is disintegrating before our eyes and all the beans will soon be spilling. The world knows neo-liberalism is 1% bullshit and Don the Con has stolen the party thanks to Rush and talk radio promoting bullshit and hatred 24/7. Gym pro Ryan is in a no win situation trying to play nice.

ReTHUGs believe in nothing but power and wealth by any means.


It's fugging delish watching them crash and burn!!!!

Hillary is the most liberal candidate the Democratic party has nominated for President in since 1972.

I can't think of the last far left candidate we've actually nominated. McGovern would be the closest. Truth is, Bernie wasn't that far left.

McGovern was the one I was referencing, of course. I wonder if a McGovern could do better today than he did against Nixon.

This election will end up being about whether most of the borderline voters want Trump or not. I already think he doesn't have a chance.
