Krugman: Obamacare Will Be A Debacle — For Republicans

[BlueCaliDem]

26. And realistic.

Here's where the realism comes in: you'll only be able to make the changes necessary if and when the people who vote those clowns in either have an epiphany or stay home.

Since they're preprogrammed to vote no matter what, it appears it'll have to be the former.

How do you change hearts and minds? As we've seen with Republicans, only when they're personally affected. Then they have this surprising epiphany that, lo and behold, have them think and vote Democrat.

As for Florida, I really don't know what's going on over there. They vote Democratic Party for presidential elections but then turn around and elect Republicans for their state legislature and governor. I really don't know what to make of it other than to accept that their voting pattern is weak during mid-terms {where Republicans are always stronger in turn-out} but strong during presidential elections.

The Democrats there - and everywhere - must make it their mission to emphasize that voting in ALL elections is crucial in order to keep and grow our political power. If and when Democratic voters can do that, if they can be that unified and insistent, then the Republicans can be relegated to perpetual minority status in our government and we can neuter the power of the plutocracy.
