Jesus, you guys elevate gun-control laws to the status of being worth of being a single-issue-voter item, then you're slack-jawed in surprise that the opposition often takes the same attitude. All over a DLC Third-Way political plan. One that's not even (apparently) able to be examined critically either on merits or on broader political implications.

After the GOP got spanked in 2012, they at least spent some time doing an autopsy on why they lost. Maybe they ignored the results, but at least they looked.

Back when the GOP primaries were still in Clown Car mode, a single glance was enough to tell me my vote was going to the Democrats, as it has for a couple of decades now. If you're interested, I pulled the primary lever for Bernie and the general lever for Hillary.
