I’m not going to wade through long unfocused ramblings, to seek a possible answer to my direct questions to you.
Gee, I didn't think you had such a short attention span that you couldn't even read one sentence into a post. Since you apparently have an extremely short attention span, I'll repost both your question and the answer, so you don't have to think too hard:
ansell2: You mean that is why Romney didn't get elected, or did you mean Huckabee?Charles: No, it is my opinion that we ended up with McCain because conservatives were never able to recruit and run a conservative that everybody would support.
I realise there were a lot of words after the answer. That was for the grown-ups; you just had to read the 1st sentence.
Don’t confuse people not wanting to read your rambling nonsense with them having a short attention span, your writing does not come anywhere nearing what your ego leads you to believe about it.
This is what you posted. “””This is how we’ll end up stuck with Romney; conservatives taking pot shots at other conservatives trying to beat them down to leave room for their preferred candidate. That’s how we got McCain last time.”””
You described the 2008 primary where you were a famously dedicated Romney defender, so I don’t think you were proposing Huckabee, you were talking about Romney not getting in which was a great result.
