Showing Original Post only (View all)when the barrage of ads comes out this fall, the idea that the GOP is "tanking" this election... [View all]
...will be a distant memory.
The GOP has a seriously flawed candidate ... but the conspiracy theorists that think they are tanking this election on purpose need to wake the hell up.
The PTB on the right are going to spend more than a billion dollars trying to defeat Obama.
They aren't tanking anything. Stop with that nonsense and get ready to fight like your life depends on it.
Because it does.

After. A lot of bars in Chicago will give you a beer if you show your voting receipt.
