Some Democrats always say that if we let the Republicans have enough rope, they will hang themselves. That if we are patient enough, they will show their "true face". This has gotten so far that I have seen some Dems here say they will give Roy Moore money if he runs for governor of Alabama or President of the US, because that will show the "true face" to the public. I blame this idea in part for the constantly wimpy, cowardly, sniveling attitude of many elected Democrats, because they still think if they are good soldiers, America will somehow wake up and vote for them.
Why do Democrats still believe this? Why do Democrats believe that if we just hope and pray long enough that the public will suddenly wake up one day and flush the crazies down the comode? I think people are assuming that because the public rejected Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich, they will do the same with the current crooks, but those were more isolated cases. If you look at the past record, the public's approval of Reagan, of Dubya, of so many crooks in Congress, you will see that the public will still support these bozos either because they do not know just how corrupt they are or they would rather vote for a criminal than a wuss.
Until Democrats give people a reason to vote for them, a reason that goes beyond "I'm like a Republican, only sane and I know Ben Affleck", people will still support Republicans. Its time to stop expecting Republicans to win elections for us.
