Sure. The people voted for Obama, and the very clear majority of first voters and young voters voted for him - because the Republicans are not conservative enough. Logical! 
the simple truth is that the young ones and many people who over the past years moved into the Us or moved inside the US into historical Republöican strongholds, were not republican, and were not interested in conservatism. By ethnic and demographic chnages and age structures and ethnic migration patterns I cannot see that trend ending. So, republicans need to reinvent a new form of wjhat it means to be Republican. The old formulas are more and more unlikely to work in attracting voters.
And I remember that you and me had a discussion on that some years ago, where I already predicted that!  |
No, most people voted for Obama because he has charisma. You and your prediuctions. Honestly, I don't recall that, but you certainly have a thing for trying to predict future events and then reminding everyone about it. What's the motivation for that?
I do remember, however, you predicted (loud and often) that the Iraq war would end badly for the US (quagmire, insurgents, Viet Nam 2.0) but that hasn't panned out for you. Of course, you may be right in the end, after Jan and Lord Obama pulls a Clinton in Somalia act
Ten years ago I predicted Jobs would spur Apple back into competitiveness, but I didn't tell anyone except my broker. Best $7500 I ever invested.
