... and I'll say it again.

The most brilliant strategy the GOP ever came up with is building their 'base' from the most easily-manipulated groups, i.e. the Evangelicals/Christian right, the low-info, the low-IQ - IOW, the sheep most likely to be easily led to the slaughterhouse under the careful guidance of a Judas Goat.

It takes a lot for a politician to convince an intelligent, well-informed citizen that he/she is deserving of their vote - because that citizen is going to fact-check everything they say, and investigate their past record until they run out of Google searches.

A Republican politician need only proclaim himself a God-fearing Christian who is against abortion and for the Second amendment.

He knows the 'base' will rally to those word - because they're the only words they need to hear.
