when was the national GOP far more moderate than it is now? Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan are conservative extremists? Come on. John McCain, Mitt Romney, even Trump isn’t that conservative.

Reagan

[Pete F.]

How Republicans have changed
Lying about consensual sex with a White House intern - an impeachable offense.
Lying about a consensual relationship with the Russians - not an impeachable offense.
No wonder Putin is laughing at us.

Neither is an impeachable offense, unless it was done under oath.

And what, exactly, is the consensual relationship with the Russians?

ok, so you’re saying the gop is less radically conservative than it was 30 years ago?? I’d agree with that.

the national democrat party is absolutely unrecognizable compared to where it was 20 years ago. Bill
Clinton could
never get the nomination today, he’s waaaaay to
moderate. Balance the budget by cutting taxes and kicking people
off welfare? Come on, Paul, thats tea party ideology. And it worked .

No, I'm saying the opposite. Taxes, abortion, nationalism - look at Reagan's positions vs today. The far left candidates get most of the press but the majority of the left voters wants someone more moderate then those candidates.

I agree that very few voters want radicals. i don’t agree that at the national level, the GOP is anywhere near as radical as the democrats. the abortion law in AL is out there. but by and large, the leaders of the GOP are waaaaay more
moderate than Pelosi, Schumer, and the gaggle of freaks running for potus, except for Biden. and an impressive congresswoman from Hawaii who isn’t going anywhere.
