The bizarre part of the American Political Millieu right now is that the Left believes that they win elections because of the popularity (and therefore the wisdom) of their positions, when this is manifestly not the case.
Before the first vote is cast, the Democrat candidate has already "purchased" the votes of:
-> 80% of government workers, who know and anticipate that the Democrat will continue giving them money and benefits beyond all rational justification, as they have in the past,
-> 80% of the votes of the fifty million or so Americans who rely heavily on government handouts,
-> 80% of the votes of union workers who cling pathetically to this anachronistic vestige of 30's socialism to ensure that their beds are continually feathered,
-> 95% of ignorant "minorities" who presume - with no rational basis - that their own personal welfare will best be served by the ministrations of the Nanny State,
-> 90% of academe and the "Arts Community" who mainly have never been gainfully employed in their pathetic little lives, and who worry about such inanities as "income inequality," "a lack of Diversity," "global warming/climate change" and such.
-> Young, impressionable people who have not lived long enough to gain the wisdom that will reveal to them that what they have been taught in their public schools and universities is nothing but nonsense.
The lonely population that is left - those of us who work, support ourselves, and want nothing from government but that it fulfill the promises of the Consitution - vote STRONGLY Republican, but we cannot overcome the fifty million or so ignoranti listed above.
The Left has not won the ideological battle; they constitute a small percentage of the "cogent vote." They are simply buttressed by those whose votes have been bought with taxpayers' money and those too ignorant to understand which side of the bread is buttered.
