31. The decline happened under Newt Gingrich and his "Word List"....

Nov 2014

During Clinton he managed to get a whole lot of idiots elected who didn't know how to govern but who knew how to win with negative campaigns. These guys were raised on the post Reagan propaganda and got weepy about his "shining city on a hill" but never heard of Iran/Contra. One of their first votes was to make Rush Limbaugh an honorary member of congress.

Here's the scary bit.

These guys continued to get reelected and over time their seniority raised them up into leadership positions and they continue to select people just like themselves. They're criteria for public office in the Republican Party is how well you can fit in on radio shows like Hannity or Rush and if you can come off as an authority figure on FOX "News", well,...you have a shot at the presidency.
