THE GOP 2.0 ===> CHRIS CHRISTIE OR JEB BUSH? (HELL NO!)

.

.

Why oh why would anyone want to cast their vote for the GOP in a presidential election?  At this point in our nation’s history it should be painfully obvious to well over 50% of the voting public that while both parties have their detractors one of them (GOP) has gone to extraordinary lengths to dis-ingratiate themselves with vast swaths of voters, particularly those under the age of 30!

.

How many times can you keep trotting out the same pony (Bush Family) and expect to garner sufficient support to catapult your moribund political party back into the White House.  You know what they say, the “3rd” time is the charm, although in the case of the GOP that would mean a “clinker”.  Jeb Bush is yesterday’s news and certainly will never rein in the GOP’s unruly base.  You can write him off as of NOW!

.

New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie is now the subject of a Grand Jury investigation in New Jersey which will most probably stretch into next year (2015) and suck the life out of any Presidential campaign attempt on his behalf as donors will not pony up.  This seemingly “new” Republican is toast.  He’ll be lucky if he is not impeached and sent packing home.

.

In short, there is no “2.0” in the cards for the GOP.  2.0 means something that is newer, faster, stronger and the like.  Everywhere you look – whether it be the Republican governors touted for a White House run, i.e., Scott Walker of Wisconsin, John Kasich of Ohio or Libertarian wing-nut Kentucky Senator Rand Paul you only find insensitivity and outright hostility by them towards any voting constituency that is NOT upper middle-income and “sufficiently” self-sufficient.

.

No, there are no bright lights on the GOP’s horizon.  We’re dealing with the Ship of Fools.  The demographics of this country are changing so rapidly that those Angry White Guys (aged 55 and over) will soon be overwhelmed and forced into early retirement.    What you have left is a rabid base of racists, nativists, creationists, anarchists (Tea Party) that comprise at least 50-percent of the current Republican Party.  You have, as Lincoln said, a House Divided – and it will NOT STAND!
