Reagan led the Grand Old Party makeover with his illusory "morning in America", which featured 'trickle-down' a.k.a. “voodoo” economics. W is the Omega man with his all-too-real "mourning in America", featuring 2 wars-without-end and the worst financial crisis in 2 generations. The most educated Americans have left, leaving behind a party with a disproportionately dumb and poor 'base' leavened with a disappointing number of greedy and manipulative super-rich.
The last Republican president with brains was Nixon (there's a trifecta: pacify Russia, 'open' China, abandon gold). Despite his obvious personal flaws, Nixon had a rational, often bipartisan approach to many problems, including illegal drugs, criminal sentencing, biological weapons, poverty, etc. In the Bush administration, we have all of Nixon's disregard for rights and process with none of his intelligence.
Now reinvent yourself GOP with real, thoughtful leaders instead of pandering poseurs.
