So why do the Republicans. want the Presidency? They seem to be doing so well without it. They have the majority in the House of Representatives. Through the use of the never-ending use of the filibuster (by just saying “we filibuster,” courtesy of Harry Reid not actually having to do it) they control the legislative process in the Senate. They have a lock on the majority of the Supreme Court. They have a President who, for whatever reasons, simply does not fight or fight back, even when the leader in the Senate announces that his number one goal for the current Congress is to insure the President’s defeat.
