Hillary 2016: How she transformed Democrats into “new” Republicans

[MisterP]

116. the real danger is that this leaves a party experienced in defeating only one sort of foe: Dems

lost an election? those durn lefties musta stayed at home again!
independents leaving both parties? good: we don't need 'em and can skim off some of the Republicans--keep the elections within the remaining 49% of voters
if they can't discipline the Dems into voting blindly and marching straight home without asking their betters for anything, they can cut off the deadweight that only turns out when they think it'll matter
eventually they'll be left with those voters who'll vote for you even if you send their jobs abroad and pile them with debt and jail, left with those voters that are mobilized by fear and guilt and fingerwagging

so with Orlando Trump is as always firing loose-cannon onto every side of the issue
meanwhile a dozen Clinton handlers carefully sifted the polls and balancing whether "radical Islamism" will get more votes than maintaining the careful PC facade that lets her get away with very un-PC policies, while Frank says we gotta go after "some" Muslims with nary a peep from the fist-shakers
