And what did they do? Repackage the same crap in a different box? No. They actually took a good look at how they could improve their product and then (gasp) implemented said plan.

Oh, GOP pizza is waaaay worse than Dominos. It’s a moldy crust with a pus sauce covered with bits of rodent excrement and left over malignant cancer biopsys.

Hey, Republicans care–about destroying regulations that prevent corporations from polluting the air and water–and small business owners, like the Koch Bros, and keeping The dark market for financial leverage open to Billionaire hedge fund managers.

As for people barely getting by whose children are undereducated and malnourished? Not so much.

BINGO. Domino’s pizza was total shit and now it’s just crap.

“Remember Domino’s Pizza? They admitted, ‘Hey, our pizza crust sucks.’ The Republican Party brand sucks and so people don’t want to be a Republican and for 80 years, African-Americans have had nothing to do with Republicans,”

He then went on to explain that the GOP/Teatrolls need to stop selling pizza and switch to fried chicken like KFC and Popeyes.

Why yes Rand it does suck greatly, especially for those minorities that your party has worked so hard to try and keep from voting in this election. You know talk is cheap Rand, and minorities get tired of being treated as if they are stupid, so maybe you should think about some legislation that would stop this crap going on in all of your red states, that is basically stripping minorities civil right to vote away from them.

OT but I wanted to pass this along, as I was turned onto it from another fellow liberal, and I bookmarked the article and have found it to be quite an effective troll repellant.

Whenever I am on one of the especially troll infested sites, and they give me one of their typical trollish comments, I simply reply with:

WARNING: Article contains big words that may be too big for most trolls to be able to comprehend.

I have been amazed how well it works to knock them off their nasty track, but if I get a reply that is typical, like oh yeah that liberal rag Psychology Today, I just reply back.

QUACK ABLOW…ENOUGH SAID.

He sold the company years ago and founded the Ave Maria University, School of Law, and the town of Ave Maria, a Catholic utopia where pornography and condoms wouldn’t be sold and strict Catholic doctrine will be enforced.

The party needs to work on its image? That is his solution? Focusing on image over substance is exactly the GOP’s problem.

Yes, the GOP can be just like Dominos! Fix a terrible brand problem that’s caused by a product problem by making some inconsequential changes to the product and launching a rebranding campaign that convinces a tiny percentage of people that the inconsequential changes have completely remade the product. That’s the stuff that marginal temporary increases in a rapidly declining market share are made of, baby!

You can’t sell shit, realize nobody wants to eat shit, then decide you just need a new logo and some flashier packaging and then continue selling shit. That doesn’t work. They don’t need to re-brand. They need a whole new product (in the form of policy). And how do you open up your tent when you’re not willing to toss out the racists, homophobes, war hawks, conspiracy theorists, misogynists and hucksters?

These are all things they’re unwilling or simply can’t do. They’re not sunk yet, but given a few more election cycles and the GOP cannot exist in its current form.

Yep, Dominoes, the food of “elite” college kids sucks in the GOP mind. Better pizza to them is Papa John’s because Papa John is anti ObamaCare, antiUnion anti elitist.

So Randy boy throw out your Domino boxes and hug your Papa Johns. You could self certify them as the pizza favored by self certified optomalogists

What Paul seems to be missing with this comment is that Domino’s didn’t just say “Our brand is bad, how do we fix our brand” they recognized that they had an actual problem with their product and then set about fixing that actual problem. Republican’s problem isn’t their brand, it is that their product sucks for 99% of the people in this country.
