While the GOP was fighting for mom votes and religious votes the last 15 years, Jon Stewart night after night pretty much ruined the Republican brand with anyone under the age of 40.

nah, it had nothing to do with the complete debacle in Iraq that included things like shaming anyone as unpatriotic and against the troops if you disagreed with being there, BS assertions that they were involved with 9/11, BS claims they had WMDs beyond what we sold them in the 80s, dissolving the Iraqi army which set up the environment needed for AQ to exist, believing the tripe puked out by Paul Wolfowitz that the war would pay for itself, standing on an aircraft carrier with a mission accomplished sign behind him when out time there was nowhere near close to done..... etc etc etc... do I even need to go past the colossal frick ups with the Bush admin's Iraq adventure?

How about hiring buddies who were total failures in the private sector for important positions like heading FEMA w/Mike Brown, or employing a total POS like Karl Rove who helped foster a completely toxic environment between Dems and Rupubs to a level not seen in modern times, or ramping up the failed war on drugs tossing more people in jail over minor offenses, or relying on torture for info that usually ended up as bunk b/c OF COURSE a person getting tortured will tell you what the frick they want to make it stop, or putting a fool like John Bolton in as a UN ambassador when he openly shite on its very existence...

Nah... it wasn't the Bush admin that hurt the Republican brand. It was Jon Stewart. A guy on a late night cable show that barely hit 2 million viewers a night.
