Your second point, about the primary process is right on. I hate that cross over dems in the primary probably chose our lame candidate for us. We were doomed from the get go with him. I remember how as the summer and fall wore on, Rush would mumble “we are so screwed.” He was so right. We could not have had a worse candidate. The dems laughed all the way into the White House.
Yeah. It’s almost as if republicans wanted to lose.
Between open primaries and crossover votes, and having the primaries held in blue states so as to favor the more liberal republican candidates, we didn’t stand a chance.
The whole thing needs to be changed.
