12. You are right that he may still vote for another Republican
Nancy Pelosi made an excellent point when she said that the Dems must destroy the Republican "brand."

I can remember many years ago when a lot of people wouldn't vote for Republicans because they said the Repubs were against the working man.

Reagan got people to vote Repub by destroying the Dem brand. I realized exactly what he was doing, but unfortunately I didn't know how to persuade people that he was manipulating them to vote against their own economic interests. Reagan persuaded former Dems that their party was the party of the Welfare Queens and that the Repubs were the party of the working man. Now look where the working man is: dying labor unions and falling wages because of competition from illegal immigrants who are afraid to speak up for better working conditions.

Now we have to get the truth out: The Repubs are the party of the corporations not the average person.
