GOP primaries are almost finished. It is normal about this time to start trying to draw from the other party and independents. They’re not going to run to the party of DeMint, Bachmann and Ryan. It’s Mitch’s job to soften it up and tell Democrats and Indies the GOP is centrist and safe. Look at Obama. The crazies nominated him but he ran as a uniter and a centrist. Like it or not, this works.
Those are very good points. However, they do run the risk of pissing off the rest of us...you know, those who held their nose but still voted, and those who stayed at home.
I recently had a McCain staffer call me requesting a donation because I supported him in the past. After I finished telling him what I thought, he was gobsmacked!
We did “discuss” comprehensive immigration reform...lol
“GOP primaries are almost finished. It is normal about this time to start trying to draw from the other party and independents.”
Well...things are not normal this time. The indys left Obama long ago. It appears that he’s bleeding dems, too. Kinda like the Reagan Democrats in 1980.
And, yet...the GOP is determined to play nice, and grab defeat from the jaws of victory.
So, what the heck do they think they are going to accomplish with “normal”?
“They’re not going to run to the party of DeMint, Bachmann and Ryan.”
Their loss...and the country’s loss, as well.
“It’s Mitch’s job to soften it up and tell Democrats and Indies the GOP is centrist and safe.”
Do you know how many people want the GOP to be “centrist and safe”? Frankly, I’ve had it up to the figurative “here” with them. I won’t donate to them...they are clueless and inept...and, along with Obama, lack Sarah Palin’s cajones.
The DC GOP is nothing but a bunch of spineless cowards. Just look at McCain’s campaign...spineless. He was afraid of being called a racist.
“Look at Obama. The crazies nominated him but he ran as a uniter and a centrist.:
For anyone paying attention, that was just fluff, and the media has carried his water for so long that they are purple and pruney. Now, I realize that most people don’t pay as much attention as those on this fine forum do. However, the “crazies” will not be out in force this time. He’s not on the ballot. Too, he’s losing young people as we speak.
“Like it or not, this works.”
Not this time, unless you consider running your base off again “working.”
