What if everything you think you know about politics is wrong? What if there arent really American swing votersor not enough, anyway, to pick the next president? What if it doesnt matter much who the Democratic nominee is? What if there is no such thing as the center, and the party in power can govern however it wants for two years, because the results of that first midterm are going to be bad regardless? What if the Democrats' big 41-seat midterm victory in 2018 didnt happen because candidates focused on health care and kitchen-table issues, but simply because they were running against the party in the White House? What if the outcome in 2020 is pretty much foreordained, too?

Now this is a good horror movie plot.

I've always wanted a movie where a candidate emerges that everyone on both sides loves and wins in a landslide. Then after a few weeks goes up in front of the nation and quits because no one in this country really deserves democracy with their petty bickering.

I think the term swing voter isnt like a person who swings from side to side.

Its more like someone who is in a committed relationship with a certain political ideology who occasionally gets a bit wild and hooks up with the neighbor.

Not swinging, swinging.

So basically the Patriots from MGS2?
