Only if the Establishment Blue Dog conserv-a-Dems refuse to compromise and accept that Democrats are a LIBERAL party.

I said here several years ago that the Republican Party would fail to field a viable candidate and that in the aftermath of the debacle the GOP would wither away to a lunatic fringe. A centrist party will emerge in the next ten to twenty years with two shall fringe parties, one on either side. Looks like we are getting there.

Trump has done all he can to destroy the Republican Party. It's time for the pharmaceutical industry to finish the job by inventing smart pills.

So only rich people would get smart pills? How would that finish the job?

Some vague and condescending insult to infer intellectual superiority.

A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I think Ted is suggesting smart pills would doom the GOP because the members would then be too smart to fall for their stupidity.

The problem being the only the rich could afford them. Maybe they would get too smart to be crooks any more?

Easy fix -- make them free under Obamacare. Can you imagine how all the RWNJ heads would explode?

Then require vaccination of infants.

Let the games begin! And I want the popcorn concession.
