2004: Kerry -2.4%
2008: Obama +7.2%
2012: Obama +2.7%


It's not as though they have an iron grip on 2016 or 2020. Only one of the past four elections has been a landslide.

Mormons will fade into obscurity. The Mormon moment was microscopic, measured in microns.

The GOP is comatose. The GOP goes out of its way to offend women, such the morons in Indiana and Missouri, or by Ryan's defunding of Planned Parenthood, or to see how much we can alienate Hispanics. The GOP leadership should drawn, quartered, then shot and hanged.

I am pissed by the stupidity of party leadership. IF I ever see a Tea Partier, I want it in a history class.
