You guys that disparage the progressives should get your stories straight. Some of you say the progressive are too radical and turn around and say we are apathetical. Those that stay home are the general public that see a Republican-Lite vs. a Republican and figure it doesn't matter.

If you want Jeb in 2016, then nominate Clinton-Sachs. The Oligarchs don't care which.
