The country wasn't asking a lot! The GOP drove all the centrists out of their party. The closest things they have left are a few straggling single-issue voters. | ||

Pretty sure Dukakis unanimously lost that debate against Bush when he answered like a robot when asked about if he would support the death penalty for someone that raped his wife. It's actually the moment that most people think single-handedly sank his campaign. | ||

There were some in the primary but they decided to put a mad man up. It's not hard to put someone more likable than Hillary up against her. Well, its not hard in theory....in practice with their primary voters its impossible. | ||

I'm sure the most pissed off person by far is Pence. Have fun with that. | ||
