    Wasted Votes

    Editorial Cartoons Wasted Vote

    Wasted Vote for a third party or write-in candidate or spoiler for certain parties candidacies?  Everyone blames Ralph Nader for Gore losing the 2000 election but no one tends to bring up the fact that if it weren’t for Ross Perot, we probably would have had another Bush Sr. term.

    Electorally it looks like Hillary Clinton should have a lock on the election.  But assuming it is close as it was in 2000 and a third party candidate should win just one state allowing for neither Clinton or Trump to reach 270 Electoral Votes.  Then it goes to congress to decide among the top THREE electoral vote getters.  Given the disdain for Trump and the fear Clinton could spell doom for the Democrats in 2020, Congress may want a third party to give them time to fix their own parties over the next four years.

    Republicans on Halloween

    10-29-15-Republican-Halloween-Bearman-Cartoons

    Halloween is almost upon us and it is time for Trick or Treating.  Unfortunately it seems with the round of candidates up for the Presidential Nominee, it is the Republican Party that is playing tricks on us.  So sure a kid seemingly dressed as a ghost is more likely a moderate Republican (or what 20 years ago was the mainstream of the party), hiding his face in shame for what the party has become.

    Republicans continue to hearken back to the Reagan era, but pundit after pundit will tell you that Reagan would be unelectable in today’s Republican Party.   See here and here. Starting with the Clinton era, forged in the Bush era and solidified in the Obama era, both parties have moved further and further from the center and would rather see the other side lose than to get things done for the country.

    Is it just the party or has the populace moved away from the center as well?

    Bonus points if you get the title of this cartoon: “We all have a face that we hide away forever”  Without looking it up of course
