... Unless the nominee is the GOPe’s guy Marco Rubio.
Then watch the ‘enthusiasm gap’ disappear.
If there’s one thing the GOPe knows how to do its how to p*ss away a lead.
Easy folks... there was a huge intensity gap early in 2012. I’m hugely optimistic, but we gotta go out and win this. Don’t forget: fear motivates as well as excitement.
That will go away if Rubio is the nominee.
This story was written in January 1996 and January 2012.
Gee, I have heard this song and dance somewhere before. We elect a bunch of Rs and what happens?? not a damn thing... SOS...
Don’t count on a landslide. I really think Dems are going to sneak someone in one us...like Joe
Sadly, this is wishful thinking.
Nationally, I don't hear political independents and non-white voters chanting the names “Cruz” or “Rubio.”
And, to my eye, the Cruz victory in Iowa means that Trump has generated only a limited amount of passion from traditional Republican Conservatives.
I think Trump still has a very steep road to the GOP nomination.
I think Clinton will win the Democrat nomination without much trouble, unless the MSM turns on her again, as they did in 2008.
And, I think Clinton will be very hard to beat in November, no matter whom the GOP nominates.
“I will forgive all your student loans. I will make tuition and health care a right, and FREE. I will make bank fees illegal, and send some Wall Street bankers to jail.”
Say that to Democrats and they’ll close the enthusiasm gap in a hurry, believe you me.
1)Public anger is growing. Yeah, they're angry at the GOP but historically, the party that has the WH gets punished.
2)DC outsider candidates on the GOP side
3)Any democrat running this year is going to have to convince a skeptical public that BHO was a success and to let them have his third term.
4)Anxiety about the economy is growing. And the direction of the USA
Yes, I think we are going to have a very good year, despite all of the doom and gloom I hear on FR.
