That's pretty stupid of them.

The country has changed a lot since Bush was elected. Even in the Bush elections, it was neck and neck and he lost the popular vote. He was handed the White House by the electoral college and by his Brother who was the govenor of the deciding state.
The only reason the right has survived this long, was because of the extensive gerrymandering of key voting areas. The Democrats have widely failed when it comes to winning govenor races at state levels, which has allowed the right to stay competitive..
The problem is it worked when the demographics were in their favor, but that's no longer the case.. The Right has painted themselves into a corner by catering to only the rich and white people. Now the demographics have changed and their gerrymandering and lies no longer work..
It's simply a numbers game, the numbers no longer work for them..
