Herein lies the problem. You expect candidates to win without voting for them.
I watched Ross Perot give us Clinton.
What evidence do you have that Perot voters would've voted for Bush? For all you know most of the Perot voters might've been former non-voters.
...when is the last time you saw a Democrat sponsor a meaningful tax cut?
When is the last time you saw Republicans reduce government?
Or conceled carry legislation?
When is the last time you saw Republicans repeal any gun-control?
Or a tough bill that would mean punnishment for violent criminals?
I've watched Republicans enact laws that punish people for not committing any crimes at all.
