Republicans Smarter than Democrats

It's funny Republicans are always lambasted by Democrats for voting against their interests or being dumb because they vote for politicians who do not have their interests at heart. But I have to say at this point at least Republicans have finally realized that the leaders of the Republican party, the elite of the party, are not to be trusted and therefore should not be voted for.

In contrast to Democrats who always think we are smarter, more informed, and more superior to Republicans voters. However, Dems still have not realized what the Reps have realized this election season. And that is the Democratic party leaders, the party elites, do not have our interests at heart. They have been lying to us for the past 20 years. And here are the Dems voting for and rooting for Hillary Clinton, the elite of the elite in the Democratic party. After all the evidence of Hillary lying to us. After making herself super rich by selling herself to rich bankers, and corporations. Dems are still going to elect her as the nominee.

If Jeb Bush was in our party the Dems would be lining up to support him. At least the Republicans have finally seen through the charade and will no longer vote for the republican establishment candidate. The question is when will Democrats realize the same thing?

one of the CNN (DEM) commentators just made a good point about his lack of civility in not acknowledging Jeb Bush in his victory speech. Unless it turns out he had a good reason, that could catch up with him by the fall.

Bernie could still make a run, but he's not ideal from a youth and vitality projection standpoint.

are going for the anti-establishment guy who is refusing super pacs, wants campaign finance reform, & is against the TPP.

However, normal delegate counts are basically tied btn Hill & Bernie, so there's still a chance enough Dems will wake up & bother to vote in the primary for Bernie. Vote for their own best interest.
