The way it seems to be shaping up I see more fractures on the liberal side than anywhere else. Hordes of people are either threatening to sit out the election, or to "let it burn" to "teach everyone a lesson", or to vote for someone they write in...
I travel in heavy political circles on the Internet blogs - and I'm not seeing that AT ALL. What I am seeing is the Republican party fracturing apart and already talking about a brokered convention if The Donald wins big tonight and on the 15th of March.
Show me ONE brokered Dem convention article, Dem people sitting this one out, or blog post.
Nothing to do with articles pointing at brokered conventions, Rick.
I wish it were that simple.
It has mostly to do with the hordes of Bernie voters and hordes of HRC voters, both threatening the same thing:
B: I will NEVER EVER vote for Hillary, I'd rather write in JILL STEIN!
B: I won't vote for Hillary, I just won't vote, let it burn, it will teach everyone a lesson.
H: I will never ever vote for that socialist.
H: I will not waste my vote on Bernie because he is unelectable.
A vote for Bernie is a vote for the Republicans.
And on and on ad nauseum.
I get at least five posts a day from the various Facebook Bernie or Facebook Hillary groups that say something similar.
And there is historical precedent, Rick!
It happened in 1968 when the ultra liberals sat out the election because they refused to vote for Humphrey.
So we got Tricky Dick instead!
The reason Nixon won so convincingly is because the Dems refused to unify and back their nominated candidate!
Hence my statement, we seem to be incapable of learning, whereas Republicans are practical and pragmatic. They know that as long as THEY have the football, they can make yardage and we lose the game, over and over and over again.
And they DO make yardage, every time, at OUR EXPENSE.
