Republicans who previously campaigned on a pro-life position are now ‘in a tough spot,’ experts say. Kelly Rissman speaks to GOP strategists and campaign managers about what’s going on behind the scenes
Because spoiler candidates are responsible for the downfall of the earth.
I hold Ralph Nader personally accountable for the state of the climate today. Bush 43 won Florida by a margin of fewer than 600 votes. Nader had 95,000.
I was 15 in 2000. If I was 18, I probably would’ve voted for Nader, and felt like I was doing the right thing. At 38, I realize how naive that was.
It could also be the fact that a lot of modern presidents aren’t fit for presidency as much as they can mislead the people. In a perfect world, you could’ve voted for Nader and not regretted it, because you’d have known that the people that surrounded you weren’t naive. Personally though, I feel like raeganomics was to blame for too many of America’s problems.
The major problem — one of the major problems, for there are several — one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarise: it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarise the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarise the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
Another interpretation, and an interesting catch-22, is that they are simultaneously the best and worst contenders for presidency. The act of wanting the presidency warrants at least some ulterior motive, but also requires at least learning how to run a country at the bare minimum. Without the latter, you just can’t run a country.
