That is certainly true.
Romney does nothing for me.
Unfortunately you get weaker opponents when a sitting President is seeking election. I mean...look at the idiots the Dems put up against Bush Jr.
Same here. A serious candidate will usually wait until a sitting President reaches the term limit before running.
That's partially true.
More to the point, though, is that sometimes those weak candidates can do well, if they strike a chord.
Remember, in 1992, everyone thought Bush-41 was a shoe in after having a 87% approval rating after the Gulf War. So Mario Cuomo and Al Gore stood down and let nobodies and has beens run. And the race was Paul Tsongas, Jerry Brown and an southern governor named Bill Clinton.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Say it ain't so! Say it ain't so!
No Timmy, it didn't happen that way, The Boogy Man took the Election away from George.
Careful, don't get so close or he might grab you too.
It's laughable to claim Perot caused Bush to lose. If Perot hadn't been in it, most of those folks would have went to Clinton.
