WaPo: Are Democrats And Republicans Talking About The Same Country
It’s as though each party is talking to a different nation.
To the Democratic candidates, the 2016 presidential campaign is about shrinking the gap between rich and poor; combating climate change; and expanding voting rights, gay rights and workplace equality for women.
To listen to the Republican candidates is to hear an entirely different campaign — one that centers on defeating Islamic State terrorists, deterring a nuclear Iran, restricting abortion, and debating whether to deport illegal immigrants and construct a wall to keep them out…
The contrast was brought into sharp relief this week. Republicans sparred in a three-hour debate Wednesday over issues of national security, abortion and immigration, but had little to say about middle-class economic growth. On the campaign trail, Democrats focused on liberal economic and social agendas, but barely touched on terrorist threats and the cultural issues that have become conservative rallying cries.

They’ll learn it is ALWAYS about the economy. All those other issues are side issues but when the rubber meets the road, what a candidate says will end up in your pocket is what matters to most people.

If the Republicans are so hot on starting wars they need to talk about a war tax.

The Republicans’ America exists in the 1950’s. There’s no “minorities” to deal with (they just ignore the “Negroes”), Mom stays home to take care of the kids, Dad has a little on the side, but boys will be boys. No government regulations to get in the way. Everything’s hunky dory.
