At the end of the 2012 election Reince Piebrus ran an autopsy that suggested that the gop needed to do more to endear itself to women, younger people, and minorities.
Since 2012 the gop has done the exact opposite.
In every age bracket 64 years and younger, the gop lost in Alabama. Let me say that again, in one of the reddest states, every age bracket 64 years and younger went blue.
This is what happens when you deny basic scientific thought, statistics, and demographic information and rely solely on whatever the echo chamber on Fox News and am radio says.
The GOP is literally dying of old age. It’s end might come faster than we think because of Trump as he’s offending every decent conservative out there (people like Jeff Flake, who donated $100 dollars to Doug Jones).
Time for the gop to reboot. But they won’t. The echo chamber they’ve created with hannity, Limbaugh, bannon, and the Kochs won’t allow them to.
Pretty sure Mitt and Jeb are working on it.
Jeff Flake and other RINOs are tweedle-dee to the Dem Tweedle-dum. They don't really offer an alternative, just exist to follow the basic powers that be.
I used to think that the Dems offered a genuine voice for the people, say way back when.... say FDR or JFK. Carter was a nuclear engineer but just a figurehead for the status quo. But imo Bill Clinton was a Jay Rockefeller stooge. Since the Clintons rose to the limelight, the Dem party has been worse in the tank for the oligarchs than the Republicans ever were.
Roy Moore made too much of his fundamentalist bible beliefs for most people. He was not Jesus, but even Jesus would have lost the Senate race. Nobody really wants a senator voting on religious principle.
And yah, I don't smoke weed so I have no idea what reality looks like to the young'uns.
recent studies outta Palo Alto show that weed's effects are due to the cannabinoids mimicking some natural, as in stuff we make ourselves in our DNA-driven biochemistry, that directly affects the formation of new neuron connections, and while being somewhat pleasureable, it is likely going to curtail some brain functions prematurely. The younger you use it, the more it will affect you.
Nobody has proven anything about Roy Moore. Allegations are hearsay if second-hand. First hand, the judge or jury will listen to you but question your assertions against reasonable or logical relationships to whatever evidence is available.
The Gloria Allred client decided, on the advice of her attorney, to retract the assertion that Moore wrote some of the damning comments in her yearbook, after people asked for it to be produced for expert forensic analysis. The ink would have proven it was written literally this year. I think it was a deliberate falsehood cooked by political hacks, who must have done a bit of footwork trying to find anyone who had anything to say about Moore.
Some of you keep saying it's proven. It just isn't.
That is THE REALITY on the charges against Moore.
