Why we'll win the White House again in 2016

It's not that nearly a third of republican voters are supporting a man who--just in the past week--claimed he had super powers to predict terrorist attacks, said that a African-
American man who was protesting at a Trump event deserved to have the shit knocked out of him by a bunch of old white farts for exercising his First Amendment rights, insulted a disabled journalist, and saw Muslim celebrations over the carnage caused by the 9/11 attacks that no one in the world could verify, it's the utter insanity of this:  when asked if they approved of President Obama pardoning two turkeys, only 11% of republicans approved.

I know that the annual turkey pardoning is little more than your run of the mill inane political theater, but it's a tradition that Presidents--both Democrats and republicans--have carried out for as long as I can remember, and Americans give it little more than a roll of the eyes, or a groan, or a cheer if you're a vegetarian.  But republicans right now can't see beyond their hatred for one of the most decent men to hold the office of President in the last hundred years to shrug off the inconsequential.

When you're running blind you eventually run into a tree or a lamppost or a building and knock yourself out--and that mighty blow is going to come with full force for republicans in November of 2016.

Peace,
