Sorry, should have said that the Republican base is not large enough to win in the absence of other factors.

And this is based on what?

If Romney in 2012 had the same numbers of voters McCain had in 2008 in key battle ground states, Obama would be a failed one-term President.

Our money was on fire and we were involved in a trillion dollar war based solely off lies and having daddy issues.

Bush Jr. literally set the country on fire.

Let's not bring up how he handled hurricane Katrina either.
 
Its so fucking hilarious to see people downplay Kasichs 25 year track record and then go on to suppurt Trump or Cruz like they are actually going deliver on even 1% of what they promise.

The ignorance is astounding.

Yeah, big numbers of Republicans are saying 'Fuck this' and going Independent. This isn't exactly new.

Can you be part of the Republican base if you explicitly eschew the Republican party?
Maybe we have different ideas of what "base" means.
 
Literally - used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

Some of you need a fucking dictionary.

Definition of literally
Popularity: Top 1% of lookups
  1. 1: in a literal sense or manner : actually <took the remark literally><was literally insane>

  2. 2: in effect : virtually <will literallyturn the world upside down to combat cruelty or injustice — Norman Cousins>
Usage Discussion of literally
Since some people take sense 2 to be the opposite of sense 1, it has been frequently criticized as a misuse. Instead, the use is pure hyperbole intended to gain emphasis, but it often appears in contexts where no additional emphasis is necessary.

In other words, the word 'Literally' has been used incorrectly by so many, like KONG-D'SNT-TAP, that they added the definition that it's being used as hyperbole, thus destroying the purpose of the word.

Wrong. Google literally.

Move along kid

You're, literally, wrong. You're, figuratively, a horse's ass.

This is, literally, correct. This observation, figuratively, makes my head explode.

Yes you're correct the dictionary is wrong.

There is an informal version of the usage. But you know better than the dictionary
Lol.
