Jon Stewart for President...

I didn't mean to imply that I disagreed with your point.


I was thinking about the general trend over the last 40 years. HW was a blip in the general trend.


Why do I need to make a better argument? I'm not asking you to treat it as a serious thesis on the state of US politics. I thought the reference at the end to the dead raccoon made it reasonably obvious that I was being somewhat light hearted.

Sorry for missing the lighthearted nature of your post.

As for "why do I need to make a better argument?" Only because I think you might have a point. The (half-joking) evidence you presented wasn't enough to make that case, but my intuition is that a strong case could be made to something at least close to your claim.
