3. Yet another Republican straw man.

Or, to mix metaphors, another windmill to tilt.

Gosh! Do these guys have anything real to discuss? I am beginning to think that the reason they don't talk about their policies is that they have nothing to talk about.

It's why the entire Republican campaign is substantially dog whistles. That's all they have. It is an empty rhetoric made by a campaign that is empty of ideas other than dog whistling to their base.

I don't see any hope for them if they are going to continue in this vein.

Pitiful. Utterly pitiful.

Too bad he didn't invite Pat Robertson to the podium. (He was in the front row right over Mitt's left shoulder.)
