Exactly. This is how Axelrod-protege/Obama-buddy Deval Patrick won in MA despite deep unpopularity. They made it a three-way race w an somewhat unpopular GOPer and a supposedly true-blue conservative outsider. The anti-Patrick vote split and dragged his sorry butt across the finish line w less than 50 percent of the vote.
We’re in a similar jam. All our frontrunners enjoy some popularity but also carry negatives, not just w general election voters but also w the base. The idea that we won’t have a third—or even a fourth—candidate is wishful thinking. It could conceivably end up being the establishment candidate plus Paul plus Trump. Obama’s side doesn’t have to divide us by much. If even five percent of our voters defect, he could win w a percentage as low as 46.
Scary, isn’t it?
It’s been scary enough since the swearing in. Had the public at large ever taken Capitalism v. Communism which wss intense and required reading in my midwestern schools, the public at large would be as scared as we are. We studied absolutely everything. The masses are taught to sing Occupy songs. I’m starting to think home schooling is the only way to avoid brainwashing.
