Respectfully, I think you might be off the mark. The capitalist true believer's are extremely afraid of the President gaining a second term. The handwriting is on the wall. No more laissez fair regulation of these dyed in the wool buccanners come a second term. The biggest sign of their fear was pulling the Citizens United escapade. That will go down in the history books like the Teapot Dome, Tamanny and Jay Gould. It is such a bald faced power grab that I am friggin' amazed that there aren't people of all political stripes marching on the Capitol and demanding an amendment. Not to mention an impeachment of the five justices who voted it in. Malfeasance in office really isn't too strong term for Robert's actions.

The point is that they are actively dragging down the numbers while campaigning hot and heavy to bounce the President out of office. Tank is a misused word in reality. They are sitting fat and pretty and to them after all it's just paper. If they achieve buying the election you will be seeing something that has not been visited on this country since the Gilded Age. The Gilded Age was as bad as it sounds good.....Shiney it was not for the majority of citizens.

Very well stated, Bob.

Disinvest and refuse to hire, until the bad man is gone.
Heck, the battle drums were beating during the last election, as the
call went out to ensure failure. Were they not?

Not so hard to figure out, and even easier to see that it's deliberate.

Thanks!
