Republicans historically are really skilled at losing elections they should win.  This year that may be difficult to achieve.  The Democratic Party is self-destructing before our very eyes.  They can’t run on the economy because the economy sucks.  They can’t run on ObamaCare because ObamaCare sucks.  They can’t run on foreign affairs, because our foreign policy sucks.   None of the traditional Democratic scare tactics are working this time.   In addition this administration seems to develop some new scandal on a regular basis.

Things would really look grim for Democrats, if it wasn’t for Republicans.  Republicans have a track record of self-destructiing at a rate too rapid for any Democrat to match.  The latest example is the born-again Christian who got caught smooching with a married staff member.  While the media just giggles hysterically at a Democratic good ole boy doing this kind of crap it is usually a fatal blow for a Republican.  So I think we are in for a race to the bottom.  The question is who Americans will hate more in November.  So far, Democrats are ahead but Republicans have time to catch up.

Then there is the wild card.  That would be Barack Obama.  Democrats might have a chance if Obama just sat down and shut up for six months.  That, of course, assumes that Biden remains under lock and key somewhere.  A lot of Americans are really stupid and they might forget all about Obama if he could just disappear for a while.  But instead Obama is doubling down on stupidity.  The latest example was the Press Conference today where he bragged about the success of ObamaCare.  This is so far over the top that even the main stream media has trouble reporting this with a straight face.

I have given this a lot of thought and suddenly the reality struck home.  For a long time I thought Obama was on a course to destroy the country.  I was not sure this was intentional, because Obama is so naïve and incompetent that if he actually was trying to destroy the country he would probably be doing less harm.  Now I am beginning to think that Obama is on a course to destroy the Democratic Party.  That is what makes Obama so dangerous, for Democrats.  The more he tries to help Democrats in the 2014 election the better chance Republicans have at victory.

Obama is likely to provide the same brilliant leadership for the Democratic Party that he has provided on everything else.  The pattern is clear.  Anything Obama touches gets worse.  The more he does the worse it gets.  With Obama determined to provide the leadership necessary to help Democrats win this election, Republicans have good reason to be optimistic.
