At this rate, Republicans won’t be in the WH for at least 12 more years. [View all]

The biggest Republican-leaning money machines are spending dramatically less to help the party ahead of the 2014 congressional elections.....

Perhaps it’s because Republicans can’t seem to get through a day without denigrating and alienating the American voter. Republican politicians are still insisting on painting themselves into a ever narrowing political point of view-- falling back upon familiar themes of internal divisiveness.

The Republican gamble was that by denying Obama any support, they would render his presidency wholly partisan at best, and a dysfunctional failure at worst. The Republican gamble failed. It failed for one reason:


The Republican extremist social agenda has been rejected as too far right. Among the most important is a factor Republicans seem to have never reckoned with — their party has never recovered the public’s trust.


All the Republicans have proved is how hopelessly out of touch they are with the economic realities of everyday Americans.

At this rate, Republicans won’t be in the WH for at least 12 more years.
