Wow, that’s some deep, insightful, original, ground-breaking commentary that’s never been heard before…

On Sunday’s This Week, several members of the show’s political panel took some cheap shots at the GOP and CNN contributor LZ Granderson argued that the 2016 GOP presidential contenders look like an “intolerant field.”
The anti-GOP discussion started with political commentator Cokie Roberts proclaiming that the GOP may have 19 potential presidential candidates, but they “don’t appeal to diverse America.”
After Matthew Dowd, former chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign, defended the Republican’s chances of winning the White House in 2016, liberal commentator LZ Granderson eagerly trashed the “intolerant” GOP field:
“The truth of the matter is is that for a lot of millennials, young people, diverse America as you said, people haven’t brought this issue up so far today, but the fact of the matter is, is that the Republican field still looks like an intolerant field.

And we saw that during what was going on with Indiana and this religious right bill that’s really just an anti-gay bill. Young Americans are going to walk into the polls, walk into the booth and ask themselves, am I going to vote for discrimination or am I not going to vote for discrimination. And that is one of the reasons why the GOP continues to struggle to win the general election because they keep holding on to this image and politics of discrimination and exclusion and not inclusion.”
