(8,377 posts)There comes a point when these nut jobs start to realize they are really outnumbered.
My experience with about a dozen of them is that when I initially started this campaign, they were pretty animated, but now they seem to be demoralized.
I mean, they are so invested in this hate, and the only thing that kept them going was the cocksure belief that Obama would be gone in 2013. I don't think most of them can keep it up another 4 years. They are burned out.
And remember their favorite unifying dogma is falling apart on them. They hated "Obamacare", but it is now happening and Americans are finding out there are no death panels, they still get full choice of providers, and they like the new benefits that reduce the industry abuse.
These guys have railed for years about "Government Motors" and particularly the Volt, but GM is doing well, their stock is going up, the Volt is continuing to mature, and Detroit is hiring new workers.
They were all over the birther thing, but what's the point now? Obama isn't going to run again.
What are they left with? What was the exact day when the President declared Benghazi an act of terror? They just have nothing left to rally around.
