It’s Time For Republicans To Realize Just How Disgusting They Have Become

So far, the GOP has not had a very appealing showing for the 2016 election cycle. Donald Trump is leading the party, and the rest of the GOP establishment is up in arms trying to regain control. But Trump is forcing the Republicans to come to grips with the fact that their base of voters really are as disgusting as he is.

Ring of Fire’s Sam Seder and Farron Cousins discuss this.

And the reason they keep getting elected is generally speaking the voting machines IMHO. It's a gradual progression but the tilt is obvious and if the vote in all the elections were verified, I'm guessing that about 30% in each cycle are rigged enough that the wrong guy wins. If you keep that up for years and years, pretty soon you have results like we're getting now where Congress gets the lowest rating in history and most people blame the Repubs for it and yet they keep voting for them (supposedly).
