When the presidential campaign warms up and we will go to the first debate among 16 announced republican candidates, asymmetry occurs between two political parties.
Republican voters are bursting at the officials of their party and have not been charmed by any of the 15 more or less conventional politicians who act. Democratic voters support their officials with Loyal Lockstep and seem not very significant with the earnest disadvantages of the clear fermentation of the party.
This asymmetry helps to explain some other mysterious things. One of them is why the polls last for several years to show that the Republican party does not like more than the Democratic Party, even when both sides receive more or less the same number of votes. The reason is that although virtually no democrats express negative feelings about their party, many Republicans.
However, these negative feelings do not prevent the Republicans of voting, although reluctant to the ancient days of the party in universal elections. The polls in 2014 showed 70-mind. Mitch McConnell and Pat Roberts, both members of the Congress since the 1980s, in close races in the very republican Kentucky and Kansas.
However, both won with a solid majority and two -way percentage margins. Everyone lost the largest metropolitan area of ​​their condition, but McConnell wore 110 out of 120 poviats and Roberts 102 of 105. Sure, Republicans, especially in rural poviats, sue and cursed them. But they did not intend to vote for a democrat or, in Kansas, a democrat in Disguis acting as independent.
They probably still complain about McConnell and Roberts – or at least some of them tell the interviewers that they vote for Donald Trump. The polls suggest that Trump’s current voice is largely from republicans without students who are much more numerous outside of enormous metro areas than inside.
This resembles the division in the key grounds from 2012 in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin, where Mitt Romney wore enormous areas of the metro – Detroit, Cleveland/Columbus/Cincinnati, Chicago, Milwaukee – and Rick Santorum carried most of the counties.
Democratic voters seem much more satisfied with their officials. This is one of the reasons why Barack Obama’s approval assessment was quite constantly at 45 percent, not below 30 percent, in which George W. Bush fell when the Republicans, as well as Democrats and independent forbade the war in Iraq.
Hillary Clinton has more trouble than Obama with independent and republicans, but still receives high grades for approval by every basic constituency of the Democratic Party – black, liberals of the nobility and Latinos. Even people from Birkenstock Pass (pigeons, aware of the environment, focused in university and rural ecotopias), who escalate the numbers of Berni Sanders in polls in Iowa and New Hampshire, still give Clinton to Clinton mostly favorable races.
This support for Sanders resembles the sentiment of the leftist Jeremy Corbyn in the ongoing competition for the leader of the British Labor Party. Corbyn has no more realistic chance to become a prime minister than Sanders to become president. But the leftist Democrats and Labour love candidates who occupy the positions they support, but who understand, are unpopular with a wider electorate. Name this band Bulworth, after the film by Warren Beatty from 1998.
The Bulworth band also operates among right -wing Republicans. The oblivious statements of Donald Trump regarding immigration referred to voters tired of telling them that the attempt to enforce federal immigration regulations was bad, and an attempt to block these provisions (with the cities of the sanctuary “).
Thus, conservative experts wanting to smell all departure from the conservative principle by conventional candidates who tell a candidate who has been consistent conservative for years and is a perfect example of kumoter capitalism. He began his property in Manhattan with the aid of state and city governments after he and his family made a second largest contribution (after the candidates’ brother) for the weaker Hugh Carey main campaign from 1974 for the governor.
Asymmetry between the voters of the parties reflects their various media environments. Talk Radio, conservative websites and Fox News Wipsgle with criticism of republican officials and complaints about their contradiction. This helps to maintain a critical framework of mind and sense, especially outside the metropolitan centers, that the fears of ordinary people are ignored by the manipulative establishment.
On the other hand, democrats who like critical thinkers are convenient media consumers of the “mainstream” in which their “smelly small orthodoxy” (the term George Orwell) are rarely questioned.
Republicans are allegedly tamed more and more often like an unruly crowd, while allegedly free -free democrats behave like the army of the regiment. Inquisitive.
