re: #66 EPR-radar

Here’s what I don’t get about this. Why does the GOP need Russian money in the first place? They have more money than God from the domestic traitors in their donor class, all of whose bribery and corruption is legal.

Is it really as simple/stupid as Republicans having become so self-deluded that they literally think anything they do to retain power is necessarily legal because magic R?

Because they know that they are facing a generational shift that is going to mean they’re going to lose power without help?

Seriously, think of this, the Republican presidential nominee has only once won a majority of the popular vote since GHW Bush’s win in 1988 (in 2004 GW Bush won 50.7% of the vote).

In ten elections since 2000, Republicans have only won the national popular vote in Senate elections three times, and only once (2014) with a majority.

In the House, over the same period of time, they’ve won the national popular vote 6 times, but only three times with a majority, and never more than 51.7%.
