You are TOO informed, unlike your compatriots. I am impressed with your knowledge but not your understanding of the American people.
Yes. Well, notwithstanding the success of the Democrats with the ignorant/arrogant, Republicans have won about as many elections as they have lost. It has been very difficult for either party to win 3 elections in a row; sitting VPs only get elected if the sitting POTUS is highly regarded - and not always even then.Obamacare is a train wreck for more people than it has helped; it is overpriced and manipulative, and its deductibles are so high that referring to it as “insurance” requires scare quotes. Recovery from the Great Recession gives a whole new meaning to R.I.N.O., and “General Motors is alive and ben Laden is dead” rings pretty hollow with ISIS on the move. And most Americans see no reason to love open borders.
The Republican who loses this election goes down in political infamy even worse than Mitt Romney. Especially with Mitt’s interaction with Candy Crowley as a template for what not to do . . .My initial reaction to Trump throwing his hat in the ring was dismay. But it is plain that if he wins the nomination he will win or go down swinging. Exactly what Mitt did not do.
Wire service journalism (aka “the media” has been heavily biased against Republicans basically since Hoover. If MSM bias truly were all powerful, no Republican would have ever won any election in my lifetime.
