I can't find it, but I read an article some time in the last year that real delved into the Republican Party before the Southern Strategy made it what it is now. From my recollection the party was basically split between liberals in the north and the more conservative branch like Barry Goldwater. Like others have said the Civil Rights act unified the party and established a platform they all follow.

I think the party has started to unhinge around the coalition made around the Civil Rights Act. My own personal experience with that is a woman in her twenties I met threw Occupy that is a gay libertarian Democrat. Social issues is that's really hurting them with younger people and it's not simply just younger people automatically skewing Democrat. I think it's a bit overstated:

Huh, a 30 year old is a genxer?

edit---oh, in 2012. Must read column headers. Still younger then I thought for that boundary though

"The Rubio's of the world can't get into that school" OMG trump lmaooo

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Can't believe the leading republican candidate has a stance on oreo's but not on what to replace Obamacare with.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Oh no.,
Fox used the F bomb in regards to your fuckery..

It's not like any Republican has a concrete stance on the latter.

 

[PBY]

Lmao

"Check out my rich shit, look at this plane!!! Made in the USA tho"

 

[CCS]

Donald Trump is the embodiment of American Exceptionalism.

 

[Incognito]

Who was the lady screaming after Rubio's watch joke? Omg that scream is awful

probably the lobbyist he's sleeping with

 

[PBY]

Is Trump actually saying that the wall will keep out illegal immigrants bringing over Carrier air conditioners?

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

This is true, but the things Trump does have an opinion of makes it especially ridiculous.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

That and a 35% tariff

 

[PBY]

Rubio ether incoming

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Former Republican NJ Gov. Christie Todd Whitman said she'll vote for Clinton over Trump.

 

[zou]

Trump's speech is hilarious, damn entertaining.

 

[Brinbe]

Is Hillary slipping into a southern accent? haha

she should ditch that ASAP. Not a good look.

It's a running joke he has going. Another variant is that Ford is probably going to have illegals driving its trucks over the border.

 

[gutter_trash]

to the low income earner and poorly educated, this is a win for him.

Trump knows exactly what he is doing

 

[PBY]

Trump's speech is hilarious, damn entertaining.

He's in cruise control, he's nailed his greatest hits at this point perfectly. He just cruises from one talking point to another, and peppers in these moments where the crowd slowly starts to get whipped into a frenzy.

"President Rubio...?" "Nasty Ted...?"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Basileus777]

Former Republican NJ Gov. Christie Todd Whitman said she'll vote for Clinton over Trump.

She was another terrible Governor, but at least she's not backing a racist I suppose.

 

[Incognito]

Is Hillary slipping into a southern accent? haha

undoubtedly.

she has a regional dialect depending on states voting.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Only. 3 Hispanics in Arkansas...

The fuck

The fuck

Is this shocking to you?

 

[FloydtheFathead]

No.. It just.. I don't have a word honestly..

She can't, it's not a conscious thing. I do it as well (though not nearly to the same degree.)

 

[PBY]

Trump talking about terrorist/prisoner exchange

Dude in crowd shouts "KILL HIM"

This crowd, wow.

 

[Rubenov]

Is Hillary slipping into a southern accent? haha

She did it in 2008 as well. Drove me crazy.

 

[NeoXChaos]

I can't wait for b-dubs super tuesday thread on Monday.

 

[Macho Madness]

billions and billions and billions

billions and billions and billions

"I don't give a damn about the drug companies"

That's a good line.

She can't help it. It's actually slightly better than in 2008. I mean, she did live in Arkansas for a while. When I'm round southerners, I use southern idioms that I don't normally use. For example, I have a "warshing" machine. And I'm often "fixin" to do something.

 

[PBY]

Lmao at Trump shilling his marble floors and terraza

What a time.

 

[OmniOne]

I know it was a thing in the past, but yea, I do not hear her accent changing.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Dumbass journalist predicts that Hillary (the American political feminist right now) will pick Kasich (one of the most anti-feminist politicians in America) because fuck.

I had largely neutralized my New Orleans accent by the middle of high school, but when I get excited or talk to older relatives, it still comes out.

(Same with husband and his Mississippi accent.)

Wondering if Huckabee will announce anything soon..

 

[sc0la]

HOW DARE YOU

Also lol Jan Brewer endorses Trump.

But will she wag her finger in his face when he is president?

Yes, hillary the party lifer is going to nominate a republican. Maybe they should write these articles about the opportunist who joined the party a few months ago

 

[Iolo]

probably the lobbyist he's sleeping with

Ah, that may explain the fake screams.

Bro, come on...

It makes perfect sense. Kasich got women out of the kitchen and to the polls. Do you know how hard it is for a woman to put on shoes...especially when she's pregnant!?

Clinton/Kasich 2016.

 

[Macho Madness]

Okay I've had enough trump

That would be a disaster.

He's especially rambly today.

 

[User 463088]

How dare you. We're getting 8 years of Emperor Trump. And you will like it. If not, there's a wall you can go work on.

 

[gutter_trash]

dailybeast = tabloid confirmed

into the pile with PuffingtonPost

 

[PBY]

Mindblowing that waterboarding x3 is consistently what gets the loudest cheers at these rallies.

How?

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Okay I've had enough trump

Same. I was just listening to the audio for most of it. It's crazy how clearly the fascist side of his rhetoric comes through when you're only listening and not taking in his generally goofy appearance/mannerisms.

 

[FloydtheFathead]

Okay I've had enough trump

Well..

Spoiler

Me too, wrap it up.

 

[User 463088]

How?

It's a policy that will hurt brown people.

How wouldn't it get the loudest cheer?

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Let's say she did choose Kasich as VP and won. How many weeks until the House starts the impeachment proceedings over her E-mails?
