45. Maher is either too provincial or he's seriously trying to help the Republicans win the election.

There can be no other explanation as to why he wants to geographically unite them.

This sheds a little more light on his quick defense of Limbaugh.

People condemn the "Southern Strategy;" which the Republicans have used to good effect for several decades but this divide and conquer tactic has only been made easier by the likes of Maher.

Thanks for the thread, Cali_Democrat.
