I always wonder,

if the average, semi-intelligent Repub (if there is such a thing) looks at The Donald, hooking up with Sarah Palin, and is EMBARRASSED at what the GOP, a once proud, respectable political party, has devolved into. Seriously. I'm not kidding here, and I gotta believe, as Americans, with an education, they can look at how the Tea Party FAR RIGHTWING faction has created a media-driven, Frankensteinish monster, that is fun(ny) to look at, BUT, foretells the 'beginning of the end', as the party was already repelling minorities, women, 'science believers', the young and educated, and most of the civilized world, (surprise, they don't like crap like Iraq, that creates a flood of refugees) while appealing to the 'religious right', to prop them up.
Stay tuned, it ain't gonna be pretty....
