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!!!!

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.
