Yes, those people listed are basically idiots or freeloaders.

Do you doubt the basic level of intelligence of many Americans, esp. "low information voters"? Expose' videos of what people will sign is proof enough...

Many that may not agree with me, are thinking and have a cogent thought process. However, the majority of Americans do not, sad...

I don't think the GOP establishment really understands that they are playing with fire by rapidly alienating their base. Trump's popularity should be raising all kinds of red flags with the party but they act like they are fine being permanently in the minority.

Cruz would destroy any candidate in the field in a one-on-one debate.

What do they care? They've already run the Bushes, Dole, McCain, and Romney since 1988. Old Bush lost his second term, Dole and the others lost as well.

It is funny, though, watching the mental gymnastics of it all as they try to convince themselves that giving up social issues will endear them to enough "independent" voters to cover the loss of Conservative voters.

The Republican coalition depends on social conservatives for the numbers of voters needed to compete for the presidency. However, the arc of society (sorry Maggie) is bending towards "live and let live" socially, as those threatened by gay marriage, racial diversity, and the end of Prohibition 2.0 are basically dying off.

This portends a new phase in the economic elite's evolving attempts to control the levers of government power. In the 50's, all they could do was lick their wounds, toast the image of FDR riding his wheelchair into hell, and, fortunately for all of us, reinvest most of their revenue back into their enterprises to avoid the high taxes.

After the Powell memorandum, they started working to build their political infrastructure and buy Republican politicians. Eventually they had enough wealth to buy most of the Democrats too. Ref. Clinton, B; Obama; and Clinton, H.

They know that won't work forever either, as long as we have even a semblance of a fair vote. But they're preparing for that, too, by training the police to be the enemy of racial minorities, protesters (the Wall Street ones anyway), and eventually anyone that gets in their way. http://www.salon.com/2015/07/28/the_...dromat_robber/

Bush 1(1988)won on the back of Ronald Reagan.

What you have called "funny" I think is shameful, instead of funny. Their recalcitrance has yielded this country der Schlickmeister and Bear, who have caused incalculable damage to the country.
