Amazing how it was accepted that the opposition party would win after a disastrous 2nd Bush term, but it’s also accepted that Hillary will win despite a more disastrous Obama 2nd term. It’s always conventional wisdom that the Democrat will win no matter the situation.

Clinton is being sold as the anti Obama.

Who is the GOP going to run? Jeb? Romney?

Exactly.

Been seeing this all my life....and in my study of history, even before my life.

Every Republican that ran against FDR was considered a doddering fool by the statists and the elite--media, academe, societal.

The elites did this in every election since:

Eisenhower was a nice old man but a doddering fool...who only won because he was a war hero.

Nixon against Kennedy? Don't get me started.

Goldwater was a maniac.

Nixon again? Well, he fooled the people.

Ford was an idiot because he pardoned Nixon...

Reagan was a certified loony, but had great handlers.

George H.W. Bush had a silver spoon in his mouth and didn't know squat about governing...

Bob Dole was a redux of Eisenhower but older and more doddering.

George W Bush was a coke fiend and a dunce.

John McCain was once a great war hero, but since then has been a joke (they were kinda close on that one...)

Mitt Romney was a rich elitist who was out of touch (ignoring the fact that their nominees were more elitists and statist)...

So, you're right ilgipper....this crap has been going on for decades.

Someone remind me how Hitlery was a shoo-in for 2008....anyone remember that line, too?!??!!

I agree that it makes no sense, but he is probably correct. The world does not make sense anymore. It has gone mad.
