Oh, you jest. “Personal responsibility” is GOP code for “No social programs for minorities.” The GOP’s base is more likely to take money and assistance from social programs, and if you point that out, they get really defensive, snarling that they worked for the money.

The Koch brothers will simply dump half a billion dollars on these jokers and then they’ll be up to their old tricks.

Uh... about that:

They backed off? Most unusual. Most conservatives only care about the Constitution if it supports their position at the current moment.

You pick the best options you have, and you stay involved, let them know you’re watching, your vote and their job is in on the line if they step out of the line. If you get someone horrible, stay involved, let them know you’re coming for them next election.

Being a Democrat.
Being a woman.
Being pro-choice.

They have control of the supreme court. They’ve wanted this since the 1960s.

No. People have started thinking that Bush “wasn’t that bad,” but he’s still raising funds to keep the Republicans in control of the government. Do whatever you need to do to remind people that Bush was a disastrous incompetent.

He’ll do that anyway.

They do, in the process known as Voir Dire, but there’s a limit to how intensively they can check a potential juror’s answers. To the best of my knowledge, they don’t have the ability to check a juror’s social media history or anything else that would prevent a trumpist from claiming to be unbiased, “nope, never heard…
