I do not have a boat in the GOP POTUS nominee race. But how will Mr Romney's Bain job sit with a population that is struggling to recover from the Great Recession? He sounds like one of the people who caused it.
I am beginning to think that if the GOP chooses Mr Paul they are going to see a repeat of the 1964 election. Goldwater would be considered a moderate compared to Mr Paul.
The big question I have is how is the GOP going to win the general election with candidates who are killing themselves and each other to win the approval of a group whose politics represent 20 to 25% of the general population?
All the candidates are doubling down on Reagonomics where the wealthiest pay less taxes and the middle and working classes and the poor pay more. Their proposed budget cuts hurts these groups too. People will not knowingly vote against their pocket books. They wil vote to hurt other people but after 30 years of Reagonomics it is obvious who has benefitted and who has not.
The GOP have attacked and demonized large segments of the voting population: Spanish speaking people, the unemployed, teachers and government workers, Muslims, Afro-Americans, the poor, women, unions, etc. Yes these groups will vote no matter how hard the GOP tries to suppress their vote.
The GOP has to be praying that the economy crashes hard this year!
