The GOP has to recognize that for better or worse, DEM lite candidates in the form of moderates, can’t be force fed to the base. Unfortunately, if Boehner’s comments regarding “There is not Tea Party caucus” is the view of how the party is going to proceed, then it is dead.
3 million voters less than McCain? Seriously? In what was called the most important election in our lifetime? Something went horribly wrong. I would suggest the basic reason is the base of informed voters were tired of being fed a milquetoast diet of moderate pablum and decided to say ‘No thanks’. Give us a real conservative in 2016 and watch what happens. But if Boehner as gatekeeper til then is the best the GOP can offer maybe it’s time go Galt and let the whole d**n thing burn.
I agree with #14 except for allowing it to burn.
Regardless, I believe that the communists will not cut government agencies or social programs. Instead, they will opt for inflation.
I believe that the country will stand for inflation that reduces living standards by 50%, if done gradually, because people will not put cause and effect together.
Whether hyperinflation will be enough to keep the enterprise afloat, I don’t know.
