I didn't say republicans, I said workers & patriots, the people the Republican party left behind in their rush to appease the crazies. People are starting to wake up to the fact the Republican party has lied to them over and over for years. Look how many people jumped "Republican" ship with the Tea Party.. Guys like Vendillza ran off to proclaim he was an independent despite having extreme right views.

The fact was even these hard core right wingers jumped the Republican ship because the Republican party wasn't "extreme" enough for them. As a result the Republican party chased after that extremism leaving the moderates with no party backing them. Those moderates who might still call themselves Republicans really aren't because their party doesn't speak for them. These are working class people and the military.

The moderates will now jump ship because anyone who is not a crazed lunatic can see the direction the Republican party has gone will end very badly. The moderates might still call themselves Republicans by name, but in their heart they know the Republican party has abandoned them.

I'll give you an example of what Democrats are doing that will cause this shift.. This is the Democratic challenger to Paul Ryan for his next election. A army vet/steal worker who speaks for the working man..

Randy Bryce Will Challenge Paul Ryan as a Democrat in Wisconsin's 1st District

Now think about this.. you are hard core American patriot and a working man.. Are you voting for some two faced political elite like Ryan who lied to you and is spineless or suck it up and vote for a Military vet who is a working man and wants to work for you. If you are a woman, are you voting for some guy who looks like a used car sales man and would steal candy from your baby or the guy who is taking care of his mother?
