Well, if this issue were SO important, why didn't the GOP campaign on this issue.
It never came up. Never.
So quit blaming the voters because the GOP's campaigns sucked.
They're not mutually exclusive. The campaigns were comatose on this and the conservatives who didn't vote are stupid. The fact is every intelligent conservative should be aware of the significance of the Supreme Court. They shouldn't need it to be explained to them. It's possible the people who didn't campaign on that thought everyone in the base understood it (which is wrong). I can blame the campaigns and the conservatives who didn't vote.
