I kinda look at politics as market driven.. If there's a legitimate third party threat, it's because they're gaining market share. When this happens in business, what you don't do is run around screaming that the customers are stupid and blaming them.. The problem is, obviously, you/the GOP. What needs to happen then is a reassessment of your mistakes and a good faith effort to correct them and regain what you have lost. The problem: Both major parties are entirely unwilling to do that.. They're completely tone deaf. You see this in business when you have a company that's so big and so profitable, they simply don't care what their customers think.. This sort of attitude usually precipitates a fall.. And that's what I think about it.
