Those are the people I think liberals should work on to try and get them to look at the scientific facts of climate change and the rest of the progressive issues.

On the other hand there is the leadership of the GOP, a much more solid group. With them there is basically no hope of seeing any change. They would rather go down with their misguided ship than change course as they have so clearly demonstrated by their failure to adjust their policies to make them appealing to a larger group of voters. They face the problem that if they change they no longer feel like Republicans of old. They are incapable of evolving; they are too rigid. They are doomed at the national level at this point because they are on the wrong side of history on so many issues.

We're going to see the Walking Dead for a while during the next few years. It will be interesting. At this point it is impossible to even talk to their leaders in a reasonable way about things like CO2, minimum wage issues, etc. so any clear-headed R's left will have to vote these jokers out in order to form a new, what(?) pro-business party? Fiscally more conservative party? I can't see that happening.
