My best guess is that the GOP doesn’t want to win.
They believe that the years 2012 to 2016 may be horrific years and they don’t want to be holding the empty government bag.
This could very well be the first election where the it’s a game of the Democrats and Republicans fighting to avoid getting elected. :)
When I argued my my cousin who is 20 years my junior, he had this to say about how concerned he is about who gets nominated and who wins and losses: they are all the same guy, so why do you care.
When he told me that, I thought he was crazy. Now I see he is very wise.
I agree. It’s like what Rush said. They don’t care about the presidential election. They just want to hold on to their House and Senate seats so they can control the money.
