(11,464 posts)Do I think W himself planned the Florida thingy before the fact?
Only in the sense that Republcians paid for and promoted Nader and ran on the both are the same meme to make it close enough for Florida to matter.
No one is professing love for Bush.
I am 100% consistent on blaming Ralph Nader and blaming those who voted for Ronald Reagan and John Anderson in 1980.
It is a fact.
And I consistently report that FACT.
And this blame Bush is going to backfire in that Jeb is running in 2016.
And if Hillary is the nominee, and people don't vote for her over some trivial wedge issue,
Jeb will become President45.
I am consistent and lay the blame on the fracture of the Democratic party in all the elections they lost in the last 80 years.
Starting with Adlai.
I am mortified everytime I see someone on a democratic board say how much they like Eisenhower.
Sheesh, if Eisenhower ran in 2016 against Adlai, I get the feeling the same people would vote for Ike and he won in 1952 and 1960.
NO those times were not good for a good majority of the people.
It took LBJ to make the times good, thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. and many others who helped build what LBJ signed into law.
