It doesn't matter how inept the national leadership is in the party. Politicians on the state and local level will be re-elected if voters are satisfied with their performance.
Nonsense, indeed. The only way for this political calculus, as Galen describes, to work would be for the Clinton/media machine to have Obama’s back in the next two years. I don’t think that’s going to happen.
I predict things are going to get pretty nasty as the long knives come out, with the media starting to attack Obama to bolster Hillary’s chances, and for Hillary to run against Obama. Her only hope is to run on an “I’m not Obama” platform, with the media’s help.

Personally I think instead of worrying who the next Republican nominee for president will be, I think we should concentrate on how to increase our majority in the House and the Senate in 2016. You can count on that the rats will try to get both houses back again in 2016 and we must not let that happen

“It is much cleaner to have Republicans in charge of both chambers so the White House message team can simply point up Pennsylvania Avenue and blame “The Congress” for whatever ills need Presidential medicine.”
Easiest way to solve this is take every bill that died on Harry Reid’s desk, break each bill down to 1-2 pages tops, and send one bill a day to Obama.
Simplify it for the American people, because we are idiots and don’t understand. And say that openly. Get the bill on Obamas desk and let him veto it.
Bill number 1. The seal the border bill. 1 page. This bill is the premise of all immigration reform. Until it is signed into law and executed, there will not be a Bill number 2. For republicans, this is it. Big announcement. Take out ad space, commercial time everything. All the fanfare and pomp of, “we have a workable immigration reform bill that has everything in it from the gang of 14’s bill.”
Now give it to Obama, one piece at a time, in a logical sequence, al, the while saying that the bill has been simplified so the stupid Americans can understand it.
Obama is a psychopath who doesn’t care about anything except Obama so don’t believe this theory really holds water.

In cases like this apply Occam's Razor
The simplest solution is correct
Obama sucks.
And this is basically the republican party in action. I believe it is not that they are stupid, but that they are willfully participating with the democrats and have been doing so a LONG time.
As we all know, paragraphs are your friend.
Some writers have lots of friends.
He’s not crazy like a fox.
But, like Nero, he is in his own little reality bubble of plastic-wrapped isolation.
And, by the way, he’s been running against Congress for 6 years. Even when it was run BY DEMOCRATS, he was running against Congress because he did not lead nor direct them. See the book Leading From Behind. He was pushed BY CONGRESS (Pelsi, Reid) into the Obamacare compromises he could not decide between, for example.
Obama tanked the dems but not for the reason the author states. Obama has such an outsized ego that he was angry at the dems for publicly running from him. So, in his petulance, he tied the dems to his legacy nice and tight and made sure they would pay the price for crossing his ego.
“His insurance, Biden, can be removed for medical reasons.”

Reasonable people decided long ago that Biden would be no worse than Obama and quite possibly not as bad in some ways, as for his intellect he is addled by alcohol but probably still would score higher on an IQ test than Obama, he is just not as instinctively deceitful as Obama.
