Simply, because they know they’re not better. All they have left to establish credentials in their party is more virulent hatred of Obama and Clinton than the next guy.
What else have they got? The Republican electorate has no coherence, so any specific proposal (other than fantasy cut-taxes-raise-spending-and-balance-the-budget handwaves) will cost them votes in the primaries. The only message that unifies the base is “the country is being ruined by that Kenyan socialist.”
I don’t think either party can be saved – I would glad to see a 3rd and 4th party emerge – dismantling the 2 we have now and having charters that exempt them from control of thier financial supporters.Neither party is as it once was, both support a one world goverment, leaving borders behind. They both mouth the right platitudes, but the workarounds are built in as we are going closer to the 3rd world.
Nixon’s Southern Strategy was for the two parties to Trade Names….More specifically, the Republican Party took the Racists and the Democratic Party Took the Liberals..

Nothing has been funnier this election season than Colbert’s “Hungry for Power Games.” It’s great to watch him mock the “fallen tributes.”

Shouldn’t the candidates be wearing 3 piece suits, and waving torches and pitchforks?

Such little differences, except nothing but negatives. Appealing to hysteria and ‘doom’ without an agenda is a big ?.

The disrespect the Republican candidates have shown the office of the Presidency, shows that none of them are worthy of the office they seek.
