Since when does Republican hypocrisy bite them in the ass?

[Garrett78]

Where do folks such as Nate Silver get their optimism that Republican hypocrisy will cost Republicans dearly? Republican hypocrisy has been so common these past several decades that "Republican hypocrite" is redundant. Meanwhile, the Republican Party has about as much power right now as any party has ever had.

If Democrats are relying on Republican hypocrisy to bring down the Republican Party, we're in even more trouble than I imagine...and that's saying something.

1. It wont happen.

The Republican Party base of religious fanatics and angry, racially sullen Whites will never be moved by hypocrisy. They’ll shout it down with endless strained “what about” logic. “Moore? How is that hypocrisy?! What about feminists who support Al Franken/Bill Clinton/Sex ed. Classes?”, “what about that liberal actor who who’s never held an elected office in his life but once said he supported conservation and then got caught groping coworkers?”, “what about Pizzagate and the thousands of kids the Democratic Party and its globalist masters keep in chains?”

The only thing that seems to hurt the GOP, other than running very strong candidates against them (and we need more and stronger candidates in red states, even if they’re not 100% progressives) is the disastrous consequences of their own policies, once they manifest, like the tcombination of Bush's Gulf War and incompetent handling of Katrina which helped facilitate a blue wave in ‘06.

In fifteen or twenty years Demographics probably will make the current version of movement conservatism unviable and the GOP may have to reinvent itself as a less obnoxious institution to compete, but that day has yet to arrive.
