Mitt Romney is a PBP on economic issues, but a CD on everything else. It is clear from the campaign commercials that he is now viewed as a hate figure–Judas for the 21st Century–by the mainstream of the Republican Party. What does that tell you about the future of the GOP?
That CDs, who used to make up a large percentage of GOP voters, are no longer welcome there. That the Reactionaries don’t want a big tent party. And, most of all, that the GOP is going to rely on friendly judges, the federal system, and vote suppression to stay in power. If they’re not even interested in keeping the voters they already had, what chance do they have to being a majority in this country?
