George Bush was so bad that from the start of his presidency in 2001 and onward, he single handed sapped support away from the GOP among Americans.
Gallup: GOP Losses Span Nearly All Demographic Groups
The Republican Party clearly has lost a lot of support since 2001, the first year of George W. Bush's administration. Most of the loss in support actually occurred beginning in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina and Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court -- both of which created major public relations problems for the administration -- and amid declining support for the Iraq war. By the end of 2008, the party had its worst positioning against the Democrats in nearly two decades.

Amazingly, the GOP continues to purge itself of anyone that doesn't stick to the "Rush" Limpdong line and the rest of the right wing talking heads that now own the party. The rt. wing echo chamber is increasingly just talking to a smaller and smaller group of ditto heads. The air is rapidly escaping from the whole sorry thing. Only it seems that the MSM still gives this shrinking group just as much space and credence as ever, for some reason?
The bigs at the top of corporations are still conservatives so they will give them air time. Limbaugh still thinks its 1995 as does Gingrich and a lot of these guys. But this is no surprise, an ability to adjust and change is not a hallmark of authoritarians.
It's true. When I watch TV and so much of the programming is still retro BV$Hworld.
