But that is not who they are playing to. They count on those votes as a given. The Party sold their soul to the religious bigots during the era of St. Ronnie.

And before anyone comes at me, I was a Republican back in that day. Only after getting out of the suburban DC bubble did I start to see that things were not as what was being sold by the Republicans.
