Actually, the problem with the GOP, IMNVHO, is not one of intelligence, but rather one of profound disrespect for the Republican voter. That is, the "normal" "good" "Christian" people of this country and their families, who are the ones who make it all work.
The GOP Establisment realized in the early 1950's that they had the votes of this group come hell or high water. That meant that they could line up at the trough with their buddie across the aisle forever. With safe seats, they were in on all the swag and none of the responsibility.
Well guess what RINO GOP, Eisenhower is dead, and the Democrats have come with both Hell and High Water to wipe you out.
The problem with the country is not the Democrats. The problem is the RINO GOP that enables their lifestyle.
“The problem with the country is not the Democrats. The problem is the RINO GOP that enables their lifestyle. “
That is certainly my belief.
