General Discussion

You and the others who keep going straight off of the polls are the ones to blame. Especially when we are so early in the campaign that nobody has announced yet. It would be one thing to settle for this is the best we can do after we take a look at choices and listen to the speeches and the debates. It would be one thing to say this is the best we can hope for after the process has run it's course.

It's another thing to ignore the process and just run with the idea that this is the best we can do before we do anything. So yes, when we lose in November 2016, I am going to blame all of those Hillary is our only choice cheerleaders here, and in the media. I'm going to blame you because you all have given up on issues before we began. We haven't even gotten to the starting line yet and according to you and others just like you the race is over. The rabbit is going to win, so don't even bother having the race.

The Republicans are going to win the 2016 election. The same way they won in 2014. I called it then, and it was worse than even I thought it would be. I was operating under the assumption that it would be 52 seats in the senate worst case. It was worse than even I thought.

Because i look at the polls, but I look at them to see how the Public feels about issues. When the candidates are uninspiring, and Hillary is, the issues are the next thing people look at. So when we get to issues, Hillary is pretty much exactly like the Republicans, with the exception of War on women, which worked out so well for us in 2014, and Gay Marriage. So we know those issues alone don't decide the elections in our favor. Yet, it's all we have to grasp on to. It's all we have this early in the process. We've already settled for that.

So yes, I'm going to blame you. I've already started bookmarking threads just like this one. So that way I can come back after the election and ask how those polls look now. Because when we lose because the Hillary media machine chased out any alternative candidate before the first debate, it won't be her fault. It will be the fault of those who carried the water.

But on the off chance I'm wrong, and we win in November 2016, we'll still lose. We'll still have a free trade RW corporatist in the White House signing off on anything the Republican Congress feels like passing. The only thing that she won't sign off on is Woman's Choice, and Gay Marriage. So we'll have those two issues to keep us warm at night. The best we'll be able to hope for is a moderate to replace Ginsberg on the Supreme Court. We can cheer that we got a moderate and how awesome that is later I suppose.

So yes, I do blame you, and I will be blaming you. Because you and all the other folks carrying the water are the ones to blame.
