I’ve been telling my liberal aquaintances to think about what the next Republican President will be able to do with all of those new-found Obama powers. Until just recently, they laughed it off with the Daily Show line, “There will never be another Republican President!”
Now they are finally starting to consider it.
Pretty much the same here.
Many Dems are still convinced that the GOP can only win the midterm elections with low turnout, not the POTUS ones.
Their basis is the voter demographics, that the GOP got creamed by the non-white voters in 2008 and 2012.
I know Mark and Rush always indicate that it was white (they say 'conservative') voter poor turnout that caused that instead, but the numbers contradict that.
