              Once they see how big the tax bill is, they start to realize just how expensive "free" government programs really are.

                I remember my youngest daughter's face when she got her first real paycheck from her full time job last fall. When FICO and SS taxes were taken out. She said "I thought the regular tax took care of those!!??". They learn the hard way that "free" isn't free.

                  I guess realizing THEY will be the ones paying for other people to go to college for free isn't so appealing after all.

                      I don't even know if that would do it. The bloom seems to be off Obama's rose, and his endorsements have traditionally been the kiss of death for candidates even when he was popular. Besides, I don't know if Obama's ego could handle being a vice president at this point, especially not playing second fiddle to Slow Joe.

                          • That brings up an interesting hypothetical. IF that were to happen, and IF Loppy Joe had a complete, undeniable brain-fail a few months into his term as POTUS, how long would Barry be allowed to serve, if at all? What does the anti-FDR-amended Constitution say about that?

                              If Obama was elected vice president, and Biden died, then Obama would become president. The question, however, is whether Obama could be elected vice president.

                              The 12th Amendment says (in reference to the process of the electors voting for president and vice president), "No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States."

                              Okay, so does that disqualify Obama from the vice president? Because the 22nd Amendment says:

                              "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once."

                              It doesn't say they're ineligible to hold the office (contrast Article 2 of the Constitution, which states "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."). It only says they can't be elected president. This difference of language would indicate that being elected as president twice does not render someone ineligible for the office, but merely of being elected president.

                              But if one accepts the argument that this makes them outright ineligible to hold the presidential office again, that would mean they would be equally ineligible to become vice president. Thus, if Obama was vice president, it would mean that it was accepted that he could become president (though not by direct election), as every plausible argument I can think of against his ability to become president (if he was the vice president and the president died) applies equally to whether he could become vice president.

                                That was obvious. The point is that Trump is driving crazy turnout even though the primaries for him are merely a formality. He actually has a chance at taking California.
