Crowded Field and Unfocused Goals


Everybody on board!


The Republican National Committee has been trying to reign in what is being referred to as, "the debate circus".   To be perfectly honest, it has been; the Republican Party is so schizophrenic that no two people can agree on which problems that are facing America are the most important.  The Republican National Committee wants to hold off on agreeing to things like under-card debates until they can get the candidate field figured out.

GOP making it too easy for the Dems.
Why have there an army of candidates for the Republican party for the last two elections?  I hate to think that there are shadow societies running big politics; cabals of people in robes chanting in some weird forgotten language while quietly pulling the strings of the world's affairs.  When anybody points their fingers at the "man" or "the system" when describing why they cannot get ahead I shake my head.  At the national level though, they might be right.  If a group of people want to get their man or woman into office, then they simply have to make sure that the votes are watered down by throwing up a dozen candidates that appeal to the same groups of people.  The candidates are similar with minor differences that cause the party as a whole to fracture.  The issues of guns, abortion, immigration, public assistance, and taxes are simple things that you can divide a room faster than a game of monopoly.  So while you are looking at all the smiling faces across the TV ads remember that most of them are tools, drones, and puppets.

The recent battle for the Speaker of the House is also very distracting.  More and more people are getting bombarded with more and more information and as a result people are turning off to the noise.  This results in a certain portion of society even thinking the election has already happened.  It happens every election; there are a number of members of the public that have no idea that there is an election coming up next year, think it already happened, or don't even know who the current President of the United States is.



At this point the battle lines have stabilized on the GOP side.  I don't see anyone making huge swings in the polls of a little while.  The Democrats have begun to really set up their battle lines.  It is shaping up to be a serious fight between Biden and Sanders.  Hillary is going to hang in there long after she should have retired and end up costing the other candidates lots of money.  I think the focus will now fade off the GOP as we enter the second part of act one of the 2016 election story.
