"conservative vision" for the country might be.

I assume it just means hiding the hate better.

They are just mad their hatred is on FULL display for the country to see. Of course, we've known this hatred for a long time. It's obvious.

Cheers.

4. He's not the first to articulate "intellectual rot" in the GOP

but he should further define it. He calls them 'money-changers' and
hypocrites, but says nothing of their Congressional intransigence -
on Supreme Court nominee, on federal judicial nominees, on legislation,
budgets, on anything Obama proposes to them. Also, he is not making
the connection between what Congressional Republicans are doing and
how the public perceives them. You ask the guy on the street about this
and they have no idea what is happening in Washington, and let's face it,
Trump will still garner about 42% or better of votes!

by a specific segment of the media that makes a killing off their acquired ignorance, the argument for reversing said intellectual rot is self defeating...because taking on Fox/Limbaugh/Etc automatically defines one as a liberal, unworthy of speaking as a Republican.

Nice little trap theyve set for themselves, isnt it? the sheep wranglers will get massivley rich, the true belivers will get massivley broke, and actual Liberals who are trying to do their damndest to stop the cycle will get the blame.

I hope this is the cycle that the trap finally kills them.

I can hear it now, Trump was not a "true conservative", so now they will dredge up someone else with the same exact policies that always screw this country up, the number one agenda item being even more tax cuts for the ruling class of course.


Peace
