Watch out the religious right is dying off. In fact Saris the libertarian candidate is taking votes from the religious right candidate in Virginia. I predict no religious right hardly in the US by 2025. Because of the shutdown the Chamber of Commerce is going to cut into the religious right Tea party vote. Its good, Ted Cruz is a jrek and so is many of the Tea Party that wants thousands of tech vistas to cut into your jobs. Cruz wants 320,000 and will bring in thousands of Asians to replace whites on the H1b vista, so that is the death of the Tea Party.
