JMHO - All of the GOP candidates are superior to Obama - but it will not matter. Obama and the Dems will allow the economy’s continued deterioration, forcing more blue-collar & middle-class workers to become dependent on unemployment benefits & even food stamps.
These are the voters who, out of fear and self-interest, will opt for continued government programs. Some of those people who, over their working years, have paid $millions in income tax will want some return on their ‘investment’ even if it’s only a few thousand in unemployment benefits. It’s their money and they will feel entitled.
On the razor edge of chaos - people choose the status quo as a safety zone. Voters might be reluctant to change horses in a raging river.
Obama doesn’t care - if the economy improves - he gets bragging rights - if the economy worsens - he blames the GOP. His re-election will be based on ‘not letting a crisis go to waste’.
“On the razor edge of chaos - people choose the status quo as a safety zone.”
Not sure the electoral facts over the years support this statement.
And what's the alternative??? The GOP is just as guilty if not more for allowing and encouraging the jobs that these people used to work at to go to Mexico and China...
So what's the difference??? The GOP will kick these people to the curb and drive over them???
That's the way the Democrats see it because that's what the GOP pretty much claims...
Neither party has any plans out there to bring jobs back...
Which is something like saying that they're better than cancer. That's not a very high standard.
