Who Are These Republicans?
Jeb Bush approves of Common Core and openly promotes govt spying on citizens.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell now exchanging hand-written notes with obama, talking about helping shove the TPP through and giving obama fast track authority and living agreement. Oddly, I find myself siding with Elizabeth Warren and liberal Democrats against TPP, fast track and living agreement.
All the pre-election talk of repealing obamacare is gone.
Republicans recently voted a huge spending bill, adding to deficit.
Not much to be happy about with either party these days. Congress seems to be in its own world, caring little of the impact of its votes.

Re: Who Are These Republicans?
Don't ask me why I was listening to Frank Lutz. LOL! This woman made an EXCELLENT point about the young people saying the Republicans are not reaching out to them. She is the last person to speak.

YEARS AGO, I MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRAT. BUT I SAW THE PROBLEM AND I WENT TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. I DID NOT WAIT ON THEM TO COME LOOK FOR ME. WHY DO THESE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SOLICITED? WE ARE ALL INTELLIGENT PEOPLE. WE NEED TO BE VOTING OUR CONVICTIONS AND CHOOSE A PARTY.

Re: Who Are These Republicans?
The GOP feels the pressure to get with modern times or to go the way of the dino.

The GOP' voters spoke loud and clear in the last mid-term elections on which path to take, and it was not a cry for them to embrace liberalism. Many minority and women candidates have ran on the GOP ticket and won in the last few years.

Re: Who Are These Republicans?
There is no solution in looking to a political party for change imo.
I think the authority of state sovereignty stands a better chance.
