Exactly.
There are bozos in every aspect of life, and the Republican Party is no exception. However, the GOP is, in aggregate form, way way way better than the Dems! Also, we (the GOP) have a noble history. The Dems’ history is as the party of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, the KKK, and opposition to every piece of civil rights legislation the GOP attempted to pass.

Before 1960, the American elite was, if not conservative, then not liberal. General Eisenhower was representative of that generation of leaders. They have been called the Protestant Establishment. But by 1965, that generation had died off, their places to be taken by the “Great Generation,.” whose legacy has been more mixed, and by Baby boomers who are mainly liberal—liberal in the European sense.
Yes, by 5 to 15 million votes.
