re: #160 klys

Have you ever asked yourself why it is that the rabid base of the GOP is such that this is necessary to get to over 50% in the primary?

Serious question, Dark. What does the opposition look like and why is running to the right so necessary? At what point does this become self-defeating in the general? At what point is it worth the damage it does to individual rights for women and minorities that your ‘team’ stays in power?

In South Carolina the Republicans are all but assured of keeping the seat, which means the question is: “What sort of Republican do you want in the seat?”.
