No, it's because the country WILL FAIL under Obama, or at least not get any better based on his priorities so far.
archer doesn't understand that it is already failing worse than almost ever in history under Obama, even when we gave him more money than almost all other Presidents combined. They are blinded. There is no talking logic with them.
At this point not getting better is preferable to getting much worse. I don't see anything in the current GOP frontrunner's ideas that would lead me to believe they wouldn't be taking this country down the wrong road. You don't fix bad with worse.

You either have no ghosts to dig up and are clean (not many of those, are there?), or you have enough dirt on someone else to keep yours swept under the rug. Politics is not a virtuous business, never has been. There has been a resurgence of the idea that to get elected, one must be clean and wholesome. No one who runs for office is and if someone is, they certainly aren't going into politics and all the crap that comes with it.
This post totally nails the situation we have in Washington D.C. and in much of our political system. If you are expecting angels to run for office you are in for a huge disappointment. What we have are humans running for office...some of them are successful leaders, many are not. If you are waiting for a saint to run....I hope you are an extremely patient person.

How do you know it will get worse? Also, are you okay with where we are heading as a country? Divided and angry? How can this be good for the nation?

It can't be, which is why we need a candidate that doesn't alienate his opponents.
