Déjà vu all over again
Does anyone else see parallels in the Republican race of this year to the Republican race of 1996?
- a large field of candidates is whittled down much sooner than anyone expects.
- the most conservative candidates don’t get much traction.
- the last man standing is an older senator with an impressive legislative record that looks and sounds old, and who can’t stand up to his younger, more attractive Democratic opponent.
Only difference this time is the probable last man standing is considerably more liberal than last time.
Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
