Why Are The Republicans Still Using Reagan’s Washed Up Ideas? [View all]

If you watched last night’s GOP clown show, you probably noticed that none of the candidates actually presented any new ideas to the American public. Instead, they kept rehashing the same nonsense ideas that the party has been spewing ever since Ronald Reagan left office in the 1980s. The most troubling part is that the party isn’t going to change. They actually believe that catering to the same dull-brained conservative base will actually win them the White House.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and Farron Cousins discuss this.
