64. The people hate the Bill. The Reps will not vote their jobs away

Krugman's political theory is that of the magical voter elf, whom you can anger, but will still vote for you. He thinks a Rep can flip off his people and still win, due to some charm or spell or chant that is repeated along with Rick Warren and Tim Kaine, but this is not how the real world is. House Reps will not vote their jobs away to please a majority that can not find support for the crap that it wants, when the people want something else entirely. Krugman is dreaming of a world without voters, but with magic loyalty elves and the like.
He's dreaming.
