Spew away. Each and every time, someone else leaves your party.
is this coming from the party that gave us this positive upbeat ad?

Public opinion matters not when the administration owns the press and uses federal agencies to ensure desired election outcomes.

That ad can't touch the ugliness growing within the Republican party. Sorry.

I find the entire thread a little ridiculous when, demographically speaking of course, support for traditional American values is eroding away to never return.

Soon enough America will represent the values of Mexico, Somalia, Pakistan, India and Guatemala.

To the young who support such values I say enjoy the diversity.

, and the TP is a perfect microcosm of why the GOP has lost its way, to now being a non-factor for POTUS.

Sure, because spending money we don't have and never will have to buy votes is the product of clarity.

I'm sure everyone has their opinions and beliefs on the subject, but that's not what I'm looking for. I'm interested in what can be *demonstrated* and *proven,* hopefully with empirical data and ideally that includes links to crosstabs and methodology.

Please bear in mind that "growing" in this context means 'increase in percentage terms.' A given demographic might be increasing in size, but that doesn't mean that an increasing *percentage* of that demographic group is shifting towards supporting the GOP.


The question pertains to support for the Republican Party, but support for both parties has eroded as voters have soured on politicians who put party before constituents.

Political outsiders, to include independents, libertarians, Constitutionalists and Tea Party Republicans, are despised by party faithful on both sides of the isle.

If anyone would like to eulogize the Republican Party, don't forget to mention the Democratic Party.
