I'm almost 50 and in my lifetime I've witnessed Republicans doing appallingly egregious things, but I've never once seen voters punish them for it. Republicans do whatever the fuck they want and Republican voters just don't ever learn.

            A young friend of mine who was a very fit marathon runner suddenly gained a lot of weight and even lost the use of her legs which went numb and was still undiagnosed for another year before they did any testing and found her entire spine full of the most aggressive tumors. She is dying.
