Why you my ask? A few reasons:
1. Obama's presidency is turning out to be a moderate success despite the historic backlash against him. The economy is improving, healthcare costs are going down, fewer Americans are dying in wars.
2. The US hasn't had a real FDR or JFK type of president in a LONG time. We're overdue.
3. The Republican Party has some serious rebranding to do. Young people and minorities are making up a greater percentage of the voting population each year and they simply do not vote republican. Gerrymandering and attempts to purchase public opinion can only get them so far. The aforementioned groups tend to vote more regularly in presidential elections as well.
1. Economy isn't exactly improving...it's just not spiraling out of control. Healthcare isn't down for everyone. Sure. But that's more about advancement in technology than Obama. If we had drones like we do now in the 60s and 70s....
2. Unabashed socialists?
3. Sure, but even a semi-decent GOP candidate would beat Bernie. He's ancient...a socialist...and a socialist...
