They just forgot to take the voters with them. You're right about the gift, the only thing left to decide is whether the election or their convention will be more entertaining.

but I think he will probably come up short. The conservative machine and their voters that we are used to will get even more desperate and give it their all until the convention. I have no guess about what happens there or afterwards other than that the gop will be different or smaller.

They voice the same concerns, he's just not a true, litmus test passing conservative, the xenophobia and sexism are non issues to them.

the guy. Most often I hear "he's the only one who tells the truth"

Inexplicably, they all also think that Obama will one day send some military people out and take everyone's gun's away

I'm in San Antonio since Katrina, and here in Texas gun sales went through the roof 3 times, after both Obama elections and Sandy Hook. I know this happened nationwide, but here it was intense. The state gun permitting entity is working 7 days a week to work through a backlog of applications. I'm not sure how the gun rights people here think the government works. When Obama says we might want to think about having a discussion about limiting gun access, they think he will personally drive a van down the street to confiscate all the weapons.
