I’m not sure who will win. It won’t be Obama, because I don’t think he’ll even be in the game; if he loses, I’ll bet that he’s going to leave the country. He may go to Hawaii temporarily, but I think he’ll probably end up somewhere else (although he may leave the lovely Moochelle in Hawaii).
Obama has always thought that he was destined for the worldwide recognition and dominance and I think he has considered himself to be biding his time as US president.
If there’s a real civil war among the Dems, the whole party may collapse, leaving nothing but a very radical leftist third party that may take the Dem name, while non-radical Dems will begin to register as “Independents.”
My dream is that happens. There is a massive voter realignment.
Party 1: Conservatives & rational libertarians form a major party,
Party 2: RINOs and moderate democrats form a major party
Hard core Rat leftists & “All-I-Care-About-Is-Legalizing-Drugs” libertarians form a minor party. Which suffers the fate of all minor parties in our system, becomes a form of political comedic entertainment!
Our system was purposely designed by the Founding Father's to minimize “factions”, basically what they called political parties. The minimal number without being a one party state is two! Our system forces political fighting down to that number. That's why you see third parties come and go but never stay.(OK some do survive but they just hang around on the fringe and screech!) They usually form around one or two (usually related!) issues. Those issues either get adopted into one of the political parties or are resoundingly rejected by the American voter.
Party 1 will argue for minimalist approach to government in our lives.
Party 2 will argue for somewhat more government.
That dialog will hopefully produce good government.
I would not be worried sick for 4 years if Party 2 won a national election like I am now. It would be refreshing.
Yeah yeah none of this is likely, but a fellow can dream can't he?
Heck if non-radical Dems break clear from the socialist swamp they are currently trapped together with - I might just pay more attention to them.
I would like a more serious GOP, and a less socialist Dem party to join.
Not yet probably, but that day is approaching.
Leave the globalizing GOP and the socialist Dems as the second and third party. Build one PATRIOTIC centrist party, standing up for American jobs.
What is partly standing in the way of that, is the eagerness of (many) in the GOP to export American jobs. That and the lack of conviction from the non-socialist Democrats.
They have become trapped. They don’t support the dems, but the GOP is not one bit better.
If we can get the GOP to step selling out American jobs, we can build a new America.
