(14,955 posts)7. "moderate republican voters" - I'm mystified.
By today's performance, the republicans are making Trump's base their exclusive target. Attempts to muddy the waters with emotional turbulence will be unlikely to appeal to moderate republican voters. It will energize Democrats, from the grass roots to Washington, DC. And it will repulse the majority of the undecided citizens. It reeks of desperation.
Are there any of those alive? How would they identify themselves safely?
Maybe take a page from the old Tories and rebrand themselves as (C)onservatives?
Leave the tea-baggers and shouting idiots the proud Рepuglicon designation. After all, the rouble ₽ fits nicely with the repuglicons agenda.
