Republican Stupidity: "Ready For His Close-up" by Betty Cracker
Great read
Countless Republican dysfunctions turned the much-vaunted red wave into a puny trickle on Tuesday, despite historic tailwinds. Dems absolutely pummeled the GOP in small-dollar donations, and Republican grifters took huge cuts of the scant grassroots funding Republicans did manage to scrounge up.
That required Romneys niece to scuttle forth repeatedly to rattle the begging bowl at increasingly skeptical fat cat donors. Some decided theyd given enough and sat the race out.
