How in the world can “D” incumbents be considered favorites in races where the economy has truly tanked and unemployment is insanely high? Are the voters in those districts really that stupid? IF so, then maybe the deserve what they get!
They do. Unfortunately, the rest of us get them too.
Many of the huddled masses in high misery index locales believe the promise of bread and circuses (two years of full unemployment giving more of them incentive to hold on to the dream) and between them and the other dependent class - government workers - they tip the scale.
So there you have it. Until the unsustainability of government stimulus punches here and now in the nose, there will be those holdouts. It is coming, but the longer it takes the uglier it is going to be.
“How in the world can “D” incumbents be considered favorites in races where the economy has truly tanked and unemployment is insanely high?”
People need to connect the dots between the Democrat policies of massive new regulations and spending and higher taxes with the lousy economy.
” Are the voters in those districts really that stupid?”
Yes. Media keeps them stupid and so does Democrat spin.
“IF so, then maybe the deserve what they get!”
No, because they are inflicting their bad decisions on the rest of us.
It’s a little gimmick called “gerrymandering.” The Congressional District is cut out to favor one party or the other so no matter what, the candidate of that party is favored.
