This is what happens when you become the 24/7 anti-Obama Party. You have nothing positive to propose. Nothing reasonable can have bipartisan support. All you can do is attack Obama, and now Clinton. People outside your Party start to realize your obsession has wandered into mental illness. If someone shares your obsession, they are welcomed into the group no matter how vile their characteristics.
I think it all began with America's intense identification with competitive spectator sports. You lose sight of the fact that playing the sport is supposed to be fun, and since you are not playing all you have left is winning. Life becomes a big sports metaphor with winning or being "the loser" taking over every aspect of your life.
