Did a public that voted for Clinton see the light after two years? Don’t count it out.
No they didn’t. They voted Clinton in for a 2nd term. I see no reason to have faith that the same public that would vote for Obama - a nobody - would suddenly become conservatives. Naive thinking for losers.
You discount the influence of Ross Perot, a factor that isn’t present now.
Were it not for Perot, it’s quite likely that Bush Sr. would have won.
The black power segment plus the ultra radicals that hate America.
You do not fool around with those people. Do you really think they believe in America? Do they believe in our values? No - not if they are the sort that gather to discuss bombing of U.S. sites.
