(27,815 posts)... are those who believe that if only (insert magical candidate here) were elected president, he/she would cure all if the nation's ills, and their every decision would be an exact reflection of their supporters' personal views and opinions - without even acknowledging that those supporters often have divergent views among themselves.
No such person exists. But the Messiah seekers are convinced that he/she is out there.
For six-plus years I have been told on this site that Obama's "cheerleaders" think he's their Messiah, when in fact his supporters have always recognized that they wouldn't always agree with his policies, nor did they ever expect that that would be the case.
Wishful thinking about the perfect candidate/POTUS is just that - wishful thinking - and it has absolutely no basis in reality.
