They have a limited vocabulary. LOL. And zombies is an apt analogy. They are walking dead. Consider what econ message the gop has today? "Drill more!" No amount of oil will supply demand with an expanding global economy. Cheney actually predicted this in W's first year. "Things were better with Trump." Actually growth was not better and defcits were a lot worse, and that ignores 2020, which I'd say wasn't Trump's fault, but he was incapable of telling Americans the truth ... as Ike, JFK, Reagan and even Ford and Carter would have tried.
There are some thoughtful republicans. Hutchinson, Rubio off the top of my head. But they cannot win a nomination because they don't speak zombie.
