More Americans always aligned with Republicans. It’s the hyphenated Partial Americans who align with the Democrats.

I really felt after the Mob pulled off that win in 2012 with 8% unemployment (13% real), trillion $$ deficits, surging food prices, and $4 gas there was no hope for future elections.

But in the last two years, things seem to have changed quite a bit. It’s nice to see Democrat infighting. Both Baraq and the Clintons were absolutely toxic on the campaign trail this fall.

And even now, the top Republicans still appear to be afraid of casting their own shadows, so accustomed they are, to being the ones without power.

‘They will be sorry.’

Why don’t you just join the Democratic Party.

The GOP leadership needs to learn the maxim that people want to follow the strong horse.

And now recent events have America choosing sides. Al Sharpton and the rioters, or Ben Carson and the police? We are the 79 percent.

I’d feel a lot better if they identified more as conservative rather than Republican. Although if they’re idententifying as a small r republican: I’m good with that.

Because some people are sick and tired of liberal republicans doesn't mean they want to be Democrats.

I work hard to get liberal republicans politically destroyed.

The republicans better get conservative if they want to win.

Of course Gallup, as with all lefty news and polling organizations, doesn't quite tell the truth in their headline. As they almost always do, they claim to be surveying "Americans." But in checking out their site regarding their methodology, the polling was merely done be random telephone numbers, so they undoubtedly reached some alien respondents. There was apparently no screening for American citizenship, yet the question of party identification should be a question for citizens only.

As usual with the left, they don't give a darn about American citizenship regarding participation in the American political and public opinion process. Allowing aliens into their poll and claiming them as "Americans" is dishonest on the part of Gallup. We know their purpose: to negate the meaning of American citizenship so as to ultimately allow aliens to wreck the integrity of our electoral system by participating in it unlawfully. But until and unless we bring their tactics to public scrutiny, they will continue with their deceptions.

BTW, their poll result shows the GOP leading the 'Rats in party ID by a mere one point, which is probably slightly higher when aliens are weeded out as they should have been.

So you took this pot-shot: Why don’t you just join the Democratic Party.

Your hypocrisy is showing.

Don't expect people to be nice about being tired of liberal republicans anymore.
