To an extent, I see what you're saying here. But I also know that in many of those close-call races, Republicans did not win by a lot of votes. If the GOP gets their way, if they roll back Medicare/Medicaid, if they cut back and privatize Social Security, if their rolling back of regulations result in another banking industry meltdown leaving soon-to-retire and already-retired people with destroyed retirement plans, if and when people lose their healthcare once the GOP destroys the ACA, people are going to remember voting R and might think otherwise.
These people were ticked off enough after Bush/Cheney and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the financial crisis to vote in a black man as President. Those narrow margins of victory can become narrow margins of defeat relatively easily.

That's the most hilarious part of this. On one hand they're ranting that these are paid protesters, meanwhile they're saying "Of course they can protest, they don't have jobs!" But...if they're paid protesters...I mean...
