Reality Slips Further Away from the GOP

Not that either is all that "reality based", but the Dems are closer.

Reality Slips Further Away from the GOP

The GOP absurdly overestimates public support, even in their own districts, for repeal of Obamacare.

Congressional staff for members of both parties underestimate support for various Democrat sponsored ideas, but the Dems less so.

Running mouths of both parties seems to have embraced the idea that the candidates of their own party can win elections with only votes from their reputed client identity groups.

Because we are still by far a majority white country, and because the president is not elected by the people, it has long been true GOP candidates can win in most districts, most states, and nationally with just white votes.

The surprise is that some Dems now urge openly that in some districts and possibly some states they can campaign for, and win with, only nonwhite votes - if they get enough white women.

But then again a whole lot of Democrats wanted Jesse Jackson to be nominated.

They were sure he could be elected.

And a whole lot of Democrats think the same of Elizabeth Warren.

How's that for "reality based"?
