Mitt did not intend to lose. He gave it his all. He busted his butt. A man does not spend six years of his life just to throw the election.
So why did he go Pit Bull on all of the conservative candidates in the primary and then just lay down once he had the nomination?
I don’t think Mitt wanted to lose but the party elites knew that he would and engineered the outcome from the beginning.
If you think for a moment, why would the Republican party agree to the debate formats that they did and why would they push such a bland candidate they knew would not excite the electorate? It was the Democrats turn to win and their “gentlemen’s agreement” was honored. Rubio will be nominated next time and he will be allowed to win.
