The remaining 96 cents:
The Republicans are playing the only card that makes any sense for them: claim the middle, express shock at how far away the Democrats have drifted. What are they supposed to do? Suggest that most people don't support the Republican agenda?
The Democrats are simply left with one option: master the art of deceit as effectively as the Republicans have. They're all deceptive, it's just that the Republicans have the upper hand when it comes to deception, as evidenced by their ability to convince just over 1.5 million people of the "benefits" of the Republican position.
There's a lot more to it than just that, but this brings us up to $1.00.
