Why The Repukes Have to Cheat:

[DoctorJoJo]

The demographics are against them, and getting worse. They have only won three presidential elections since 1988: 2000 when they stole it in Florida and the Supreme Court, 2004 when they stole it in Ohio, and the current 2016 abortion, when they stole it via wholesale Treason! Once again they have a huge advantage, in that they are missing the embarrassment gene. Feeling no shame, and not being able to blush, is a huge advantage for them, along with, of course, their willingness to sell out their country. Anybody remember way back when Repubs were patriotic?

Yes, my next door neighbor's brother in PA when I was a little kid. Ray Shafer Gov. of PA.

2. ...when Repubs were patriotic?

My WWII Navy Vet Dad. He was a Republican, but the old fashioned kind. Ethical, honorable, hard working, and kind. He would be disgusted to see this now.

3. Eisenhower was the last republican President who I would put in that category

6. Agreed

I used to have an old "I like Ike" campaign button of my Mom's. Probably got lost when we moved up north.

4. A few years back, there was a report warning of Rightwing Extremism

and conservatives went ballistic. Never mind that the facts on domestic terrorism were irrefutable and white supremacy really was the biggest growing threat to the country. Republicans were howling mad about being publicly labeled as the fringey wackos they really are and eventually Janet Napolitano ended up withdrawing the report and apologizing to them.

Facts don't matter if they can scream louder than anyone else.

5. It's not just shame that they are lacking...it's respect for the democratic process

They know that they can't win without lying, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and outright vote rigging.
