On gay marriage, I think it will energize the conservative base; but the republicans have such poor leadership in the house and senate I do not think they can rally the conservative, moderate, tea party and independent groups together. To the liberal and dems delight these groups are in a “my way” or no way mind set. It is sad and scares the hell out of me, but we better get used to Hillary as President, as well as, her nominating at least 2 maybe 3 new SC Justices during her term.
“The Republicans should not try to tweak it or do away with the unpopular stuff.”
They don’t have to now. However, every time 0care makes another crap sandwich and Obama makes another decree or exemption, the GOP will be right there to fully fund it. Will the GOP apologists change there tone or will they keep blaming the mythical “stay-homers?”
