Excellent excerpt from former Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner's forthcoming book.
https://www.politico.com/...rpt-478506
As I have maintained for a while, the Republicans started to go insane when a black man was elected president. That woke up the racist side of the party.
The opening paragraph is killer:
In the 2010 midterm election, voters from all over the place gave President Obama what he himself called “a shellacking.” And oh boy, was it ever. You could be a total moron and get elected just by having an R next to your name—and that year, by the way, we did pick up a fair number in that category.
