Republicanism is garbage dipped in poison.

Decades of defunding programs they voted for. Decades of racism and fear. Decades of incompetent politicians. Decades of telling their voters they have morals and values.

The facade has crumbled. The rhetoric is done. You got Trump. No experience. No class. No skills. No hope. Just white privilege and hate.

Well done.

The Democrat turn out in the South Carolina primary from 2008 is down 31%. The Republicans are up 66%. 

2008 was the last election that both parties ran new candidates that were not incumbents.

The Democrat turn out in SC is down a little fewer than 163,228 votes from 2008 to 2016.

The Republican turn out in SC is up by exactly 292,240 votes from 2008 to 2016.

Saw a Talking Head explain it.  Normally the Democrats use the Primaries to recruit and sign up new voters.  Historically the Front runner does what ever they can to get new voters galvanized.  In this election cycle we see the opposite,  Hillary is supported by the party stalwarts and threatened by the younger voters.  This short sighted plan by the Democratic party to rein in any dissension in the ranks by NOT bringing in more liberal young voters could hurt the party for at least 12 years.

Bernie Sanders reeled in the endorsement of a prominent cabinet official from the Clinton years on Friday. Robert Reich, who served as Bill Clinton’s secretary of labor, announced on Twitter that he was throwing his support behind the Vermont independent senator rather than Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

Republicans are political terrorists. They are bad sports for being two-time consecutive presidential election failures, and will watch the country burn before they admit their ideology is a selfish charade of greed and sold out public disservice.

Bernie Sanders: "No, I Will Not Yield!" (6/4/1992)

Rep. Sanders starts out by commending Rep. Maxine Waters and Rep. Ronald Dellums for their amendment, which was added to the defense bill that would:

(1) repeal the Missile Defense Act of 1991; (2) terminate the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization within the Defense Department and reassign its functions to other military departments and functions; and (3) limit Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) activities to basic research and fund basic research at $1.2 billion in fiscal year 1993.

Then Sanders goes all in about why this amendment is necessary.

Good luck, Bernie! I believe he’s the only reasonable candidate for President this year.

Drug Testing Welfare Recipients Is A Popular New Policy That Cost States Millions. Here Are The Results.

In 10 states, someone who applies for welfare cash assistance through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program doesn’t just have to deal with complicated paperwork at a time when there’s a good chance she’s already in a state of financial crisis. She also has to be screened and possibly tested for substance abuse. And if she tests positive, she won’t receive benefits.
