re: #94 Aucun pays pour les vieux ennemis
This is what happens when a party is made up of propagandists and rubes. The Republican party has been suffering a brain-drain for a long time, just like the rural areas that support the party. Trump is a symptom, not the disease.
Right, that’s absolutely right. IMO the GOP has been on a slow downhill decline ever since Lincoln died. They’ve had some graet presidents since then like Teddy and Ike but I’ll note that Ike especially was very different than many of his Republican contempories on the issues.
