If the DNC created a composite in 2011 on who Obama would run against and easily beat, the synthesized candidate would be Romney.
Romney fit their Wall Street/OWS "Soros" reaction's premise, this led to many of would-be voters to refuse galvanize behind. Next, Romney was a moderate that did not suit liberty minded individuals to galvanize behind, a.k.a. he was a unabashedly a knavish Statist. Romney fit the Bush clone mantra of a silver spooned moderate who used government to create a cronyistic money machine, thus would not get the cynics to galvanize behind.
Blame should be put on the primary voters/lobbyists who were foolish enough to vote/push for someone like Romney, he was easy prey for the DNC/mediacrats.
If the DNC created a composite in 2011 on who Obama would run against and easily beat, the synthesized candidate would be Romney. They did, and it was. Fat-and-evil Donna Brazile (former Gore campaign manager) told us so a year ago, during Georgie Clintonopoulos's Sunday morning show on ABC. She DONE TOLE those white crackers, that every time Romney had a good primary night, Obama had a better one -- because Romney was the weakest of all the Republican potential candidates.
Terry Moron remonstrated with her, protested "but, but, but ...." (she was letting the cat out of the bag), but she stood fast on her comment. She was right, and I knew it then, and so did a lot of people here on FR.
Romney was the Hive Mind's dream opponent. And the Stupid Party walked right into it.
