In the current (most recent) episode there was a paucity of discussion concerning reduction of spending, entitlement reform, or other responsible measures. <br /><br />I agree with Wayne on the name calling. It was out of control and frankly embarrassing, except that it worked and seemingly it worked very well. The media failed us hear as well. Other than on FOX I heard no criticism of the name calling and accusations made by the Ds. <br /><br />The Rs did not have a winning strategy and I think they have lost big, perhaps even irreparably.<br /><br />The young may, as suggested, realize that they are supporting the old and decide they are not well served. Still the same government that is asking them to subsidize the old is advocating free college (or at least heavy federal support), forgiving of student loans, lower tuition, etc. so I doubt they will bite that hand.<br /><br />The Rs (and I am not talking about the Tea Party) seem to have gone to a dark place. I have serious doubts that they will survive as a major political influence.<br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669679191229234850noreply@blogger.com
