For all the Liberals that can't understand the question, this is a hypothetical example. Please don't waste time with your nonsense of how Romney can't beat Obama. In this example, it is a GIVEN that he has won. So with that said and the overwhelming approval the Democrats had in 2009, would you consider the fact that the Democratic Party got destroyed in the 2010 elections and then the loss of the Presidency as one of the biggest collapses of a lifetime?
No... simply because nothing would really change as far as the government goes. I guess the media would go on about how the democrats got stomped and cry out in glee as the right took complete control... then the general public would see that nothing really changed... they would voice outrage.. the media would pick up on it and stoke the flames of discontent to boost ratings. Campaigning politicians would make promises to change the system.. take back America... blah blah blah.. short of complete collapse of this country...wait four more years.. lather, rinse, repeat.
That really didn't answer the question though. Not talking about if nothing would change in your opinions...talking about political parties switching out when one had a large approval of the public.
What if nobody voted...nobody, not for Obama and not for Romney...what then? Would Obama still be president? Would we have another election? What?
If neither Romney or Obama get any votes then they get no electoral votes. Since neither will have 270 electoral votes Congress would decide the presidency.
Ha! I'm sure you could. Obama supporters are less likely to want to live with it though, and are also therefore less likely to stay home and hope for that outcome.
It's not going to happen...I could live with it because if Romney wins, the press is going to poke and probe into his religion and that sickens me. Plus true Obamaites will probably riot if he loses claiming a race war or some such rot. I am still wondering how he was elected in the first place with no qualifications. Then turn of the century was not what I would term a good turn.
He won because his detractors got so tangled up with crazy attacking his background, and his supporters they forgot to argue against his policies. He's a likeable looking guy. You can't just come at politicians like him guns blazing it was the same way with Reagan, and Clinton. They just chuckle about it shake their heads, and lament on the sad state of partisanship in America, and the public grabs a big spoon and eats it up.
nope, would not consider it the biggest collapses of a lifetime, would just mean more repubs voted then dems, both Romeny and Obama are both so far center many are not gonna care who wins
You describe something here. The masses are swinging from Democrats to Republicans all the time and the amplitude is getting higher and higher (more votes behind a president) More and more of the masses are in motion politically (and this in this post 9/11 era, not a good sign) Every four or eight years the establishment gain more power. Obama will not loose, Romney will not win, the people are loosing it in the end if this process continues. A presidential candidate can one day reach an absolute number of votes on his name (can be a democrat, a republican or a constitutionalist or an independent, but ofcourse all pro system candidates, candidates that are allowed to speak to the public via the MSM, the real freedom or liberty fighter will not be seen on television)
