Why Are The Republicans Still Using Reagan’s Washed Up Ideas?

If you watched last night’s GOP clown show, you probably noticed that none of the candidates actually presented any new ideas to the American public. Instead, they kept rehashing the same nonsense ideas that the party has been spewing ever since Ronald Reagan left office in the 1980s. The most troubling part is that the party isn’t going to change. They actually believe that catering to the same dull-brained conservative base will actually win them the White House.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and Farron Cousins discuss this.

says everything about this CLOWN SHOW------------take a close look----------------they look like insane clowns getting ready to spew ------------------------cr***********P-------------just like Reagan did:

There eyes say everything about them ----------------they have no feelings on what they are about to spew.


I did not want and would not watch this spectacle of distraction, distortion, lies deceit, hate and fear mongering-----------and CNN from my research did not challenge any of the remarks with a FACT CHECKER during this spectacle , it was all about getting ratings------------------that's all it was for CNN ---------------about ratings

NO rebuttals like the news reporters are suppose too do---------------they could have googled to see if these jerks were telling the truth, with another question-----------------that's is a debate FACT Checking answers

Roger Ailes and Lee Atwater. Apparently,Rove and Frank Luntz are in charge of the domestic Propaganda show and Alies and Murdoch are spoon feeding the Clown Bus Crowd.

that would make thier collective heads overheat from the work of thought.
Much easier to turn thier skulls into a compost bin of old, tired ideas.
