(402 posts)20. Americans have short memories.
I agree with everything you say in your post, however, Americans either have short memories or they really are stupid. They don't know half of the facts that you post or they just don't care. Sorry for my cynicism but Republicans who have equally appalling histories, get elected or reelected all the time.

I don't know if the "adult-like" part or the "govern, lead" part is more problematic

Boy! So Jeb Bush is admitting it: the Republican Party is pre-school when it comes to governing.

I'm sure "adult like" means surrendering unconditionally to the Koch machine

The Republicans are only going to get in the White House with a visitor's pass for decades.

It's about time a Republican admitted it's the party of whiners and spoiled brats.

"Adult-like?" As opposed to "adult?" Because Republicans in Congress are under 18?
