Well, sometimes the term "fascinating" is a euphemism for "confused", and here's why:
1. For the last 20plus years I've heard republicans often state that the GOP must adopt a "bigger-tent" approach, to include the ever-growing non-white constituency of voters......
....and indeed the above would be a wise strategy....BUT what do they do instead?
....they alienate, Latinos, Hispanics, Blacks, the GLTB communities, pro-choice women, etc.
2. We have also heard after the last 2 presidential election cycles that right wingers' post-mortem analyses were that the GOP candidates (McCain and Romney) were just NOT conservative enough........So, what do they do?
.......they back up the most "left-leaning" candidate among the 17 or so GOP candidates ......our beloved Trump.
Go figure....I'm indeed "fascinated."
