Republicans Fail to Run Popular Candidates for President-Evolution of National Decline

Robert Redford starred in a film named 'The Candidate' long ago, one would think the Republican Party capable of comprehending political marketing strategy well enough to select a winner. But no, the Republican Party seems not to comprehend that Democrats run candidates with charisma and minimal qualifications economically speaking and that's good enough to win. In the meanwhile Toynbean historical cycle of national decline is overtaking the nation while no one is minding the store.

Marketing strategies for products work well for Republicans-they could rival George S. Parker in that field, yet they seem to pick the most uncharismatic candidates they can find for the White House without characteristics appealing to women. In the post-Oprah media world appearance is more valuable for getting elected than substance. Or rather, the substance is the appearance.

Voters don't want to feel saddled with an unpleasant President elected because the alternative is worse. Republicans need to pull out all the stops and use full court pressure even to have a chance at getting 50% of the vote in recent elections because they aren't running top-drawer individuals. Why not?

The answer could be that the U.S.A. just doesn't matter so much to the rich party anymore with China and Mexico being better places to invest capital for profit. Besides, the Democrat Presidents are doing the Republican's work in economics for them except for the debt, yet public debt perhaps isn't too meaningful to global capitalists networked abroad. If U.S. interests decline the value of their foreign interests shall rise.

Evolution theory has developed in politics as a buzzword for fate. Evolution political theory is a blind historical force determining political development rather than intelligent design inclusive of the well being of all U.S. citizens in the U.S.A. today. It is a convenient excuse enabling the concentration of wealth and political power in privileged elites. Political evolution theory applied as an equivalent of the oriental joss (fate) may be satisfactory for select scientific classes of epistemological extremists on the left and right with a point of view of human mind upgraded in the worst of B.F. Skinner's; The human body theory goes, is meat and mind is no more than a bio-chemical apparition within.

There is just no political demand for full employment and a balanced budget in the U.S.A.  with existentialist individual value satisfaction being the reality check on Wall Street. That is the Democrat Party does not run candidates with competence in economic realism any more. One postures and tries to fund partisan interests and lets the public debt absorb the not realistic approach to holistic national economics.

Every American needs a minimum income-there is simply a cost of living and jobs are hard to find. Even college graduates are unemployed or underemployed not uncommonly and the cost of getting good skills is very high especially with corporate permanence in the U.S.A. being decreasingly something to count on. Occasionally the nation selects a charismatic and competent individual with economic realism to be President, and that rare event seems like radical reform even if it is only moderately so. In 2016 the Republicans should actually make an effort to find an economic realist capable of generating full employment, ecological reform and moral leadership concurrent with destroying public debt in the short-term. The nation ought to step back from the brink of the 4th phase of the Toynbee cycle of decline from the universal phase.
