Somebody once said we had to endure Jimmy Carter in order to get to Ronald Reagan.
Based on that, perhaps America, having endured Obama, will be ready to turn to a strong conservative? But then, we have the whole issue of the Republican primaries/caucuses and who will survive that process to be the 2016 nominee.
Of course, Carter in 1977-81 was far more preferable to the rabidly liberal, anti-semitic, half-senile shell that currently calls itself Jimmy Carter.
I hope so! Ted Cruz in the WH would be mighty nice.
Electorally, the best we can hope for is that a benevolent tyrant takes office in 2017.
It is way past time for the states to reclaim their pre-17th Amendment powers.
