Republican voters are in a funk.
Far fewer individuals have given money to GOP hopefuls than have given to Democrat candidates. Not surprisingly the total money given to GOP candidates is far short of that given to the Democrat candidates, thus far. And GOP voters are not coming out to vote in nearly the numbers that Democrats are. In fact, so far almost 400,000 fewer GOP votes have been cast than were cast in the previous presidential primary season.
Why? I think that it’s the same reason that there are so many empty seats at an Indiana Pacers game. Folks would rather stay home than pay money to support a losing effort by folks that they don’t admire.
Honestly, the last eight years has been a losing effort at almost everything but the appointment of Supreme Court justices. The war was wrongly conceived and even more poorly executed. The economy was wrecked by expanding government, run away spending, poor monetary policy and massive war-related debt. The dollar has plummeted to an all time low, the housing market is in a 26 year low, inflation is the worst in two decades. Our standing in the world is in shambles.
And there's still no fence!
Who’s going to come out to support more of that?
