As I have said in past posts, the real choice is between Clinton and Sanders, between a moderate and a progressive.  There is a fringe whose collation is breaking apart as the duped see that the GOP doesn't not act on values.  So the Tea Party thought they had won, they got their obstructionists in office but the majority was able to govern, to makes choices, to try and solve problems.  And the two real candidates are discussing these very problems...jobs, the economy, taxes, climate change, energy...and the dreck on the fringes of the right are trying to do what?  The guns, God, gays, guts, glory doesn't sell very well when nothing is done...of course for those who like absolutist, there's Trump, who pulled the curtain aside to show there's no one behind the curtain.  So who was the GOP? What did they stand for? Whose interests were served? Not the working white poor folks who are angry as poked hornets.
