38. The Reagan coalition of the rich and the religiously insane is breaking down

Sun Mar 3, 2013, 11:30 PM

Mar 2013

and the Nixon coalition of the rich plus the southern bigots is showing signs of deep cracks along predictably north-south lines over Hurricane Sandy relief.

These people were told to sit down and shut up and do as they were told at the 2012 RNC, resulting in the most dispirited convention I've ever seen. Since the "electable" guy the rich picked didn't get defeated, he got shellacked, the crazies are not going to be quite so obedient the next time. 2016 will be barely civil or it will be an outright brawl.

It will not be a convention that enthusiastically picks a winner.
