I've always said that the Republicans were much better at political strategy than the dems. They show it time and time again that they know their audience well and how to manipulate them to get what they want. I never thought a party that obstructed a president at every turn and one who was willing to financially hurt this country to get their way would ever be elected again and yet here we are, not only were they elected but they were rewarded with the presidency. I wonder if they even thought of their political moves as a gamble?
I'm pretty sure they're aware that "both sides equally bad" keeps the honest people at home while loyal servants do their duty.
