Maybe I'm just cynical but my first thought was a "later-hours sales pitch"

Remember the great Republican Listening Tour in the Spring of 2009 after they got there fucking butts kicked all across the country? Claiming to represent something called the National Council for a New America, party big-wings Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and Eric Cantor (all now deceased) set out to listen to America and find out where the GOP had gone so horribly wrong. From the first session at a pizza joint over in Arlington, it turned out that there were two big problems that people raised...

1. The GOP was obsessed with the ghost of Ronald Reagan
2. The GOP didn't have any policies that were relevant to the 21st century.

Oops. Not surprisingly, that first stop on the tour turned out to be the last stop as well, and the GOP just went back to listening to Rush Limbaugh instead. Such a bunch of clueless assholes.
