The big problem though is that president Stoner will be in short clips on every evening tv news show, every night, describing a bad event and blaming on republicans. If any good economic activity happens, he will say, "imagine how much better it would be if not for republican sequestration cuts." This guy is always on message and relentless. He has his eye on complete destruction.
Republicans don't think it's important to have anybody on the sales floor every day. When pelosi was in the minority, she was on tv every night tying Mark Foley to the entire Republican Party. She won.
