and not on electing a Republican as president. The GOP concentrated on bringing Obama down in various ways so they'd have an excuse to keep saying no, keep trying to repeal ACA, stall the economy so they can continue defunding social programs, etc.

They're already threatening debt ceiling BS again. Here we go again. Or still. They just had a scandal interlude, which they'll use to troll for votes and so will third parties. 2014 is gonna be rough on the campaign front.

Might as well cut your teeth and sharpen your claws here.
