There's one thing rethugs do well,

[babylonsister]

and that's repeating a lie often enough to make it seem reasonable and creating distractions so valid issues aren't talked about. It's happening right now with Clinton's 'deplorable' comment despite the fact that she just told the truth. Considering the things trump has said, their faux outrage is comical to me, but they still are getting the airtime to spout their horror.

Bengazi, anyone?

Rove v. Wade; they pull out this tired wedge issue every 4 years, and every 4 years they create a distraction.

They got nuthin', so they grasp at every straw available so as not to discuss anything of value.

Same as it ever was.

1. They're also good at...

...making what was insane and irrational last month seem almost normal today.

How they manage this:

A month ago in a country far away, "We want to cut a gazillion dollars from the budget and deport everyone."
Today, "Okay we'll just cut a bazillion and keep some people as indentured servants"

That tactic has worked well over the past few decades in 'moving the needle'.
