Naah, he didn’t let us down. We let him down.
No Fred let himself down with his lack of passion.
He nearly put people to sleep.
People WAITED and WAITED and WAITED and then he FINALLY announced he would run. He shouldn't have bothered to run. He wasted his time and his supporters time.
Fred only has himself to blame. I don't share your blame. I expect a candidate to do the heavy lifting and supporters to back him up. Fred wasn't doing the job.
Frankly I don't see any point in arguing this.
Fred is finished.
