. . . the GOP have had nothing but failed presidencies ridden with scandal, terrorist attacks, war and economic ruin and horrible candidates to try and restore whatever dignity they could muster from those failures.

How desperate is it that there's a campaign to name everything cemented down after a president who oversaw the installation of a plutonomy, had more officials indicted for scandal, a wholesale transfer of risk from the wealthy to the middle/working/poor and the cherry on top . . . high treason?

Their last Presidency is surely going to go down as the worst in modern history and at least in the top 3 of the worst EVER.

They cannot stand that America simply performs better and is far more confident with a Democratic president at the helm. Time is marching on and they're, plain and simple, NOT. They're pining for a time where they can finally finish the job Bewsh started and have complete subjugation of labor to the corporations. The GOP is not even a dust-speck interested in making things fairer, they just want to make money and lots of it for their handlers and it's getting harder and harder every year to sell a more informed public on their platform of rottenness.
