The Republicans' Primary Problem
Please correct thank you.
Huh?
Dah!
“But in fact, whatever Republicans did in 2012 — other than an overly long primary fight — worked amazingly well, given the circumstances”.
Huh!?¡¿
Coulter’s part of the GOP-E problem. She needs to shut up and go back to sipping her cocktails with Maher.
Well Ms. Coulter had promoted one RINO after another. Romney and her darling Chris Christy, who actually gave Obama a boost.
The only left out was booing the name of God..But then that’s obvious once the GOPES accept their agenda.
Nuts to Roves RINOS !
You can not legislate from a position of compromise.
Democrats are not conservatives enemy. The GOPe/republicans are the dire nemesis of conservatism and we have to defeat this LOSER mentality.
“Indeed, had the election been held a week earlier, Obama probably would have lost.”
This assertion is dubious.
Those votes did not turn into Republican votes BTW.
You win elections by registering your supporters and turning them out to vote.
You never win elections by arguing positions and policies during a campaign ~ that stuff is already settled in folks' minds long before the campaign anyway.
So, who was it DID NOT TURN OUT TWICE TO VOTE FOR OBAMA?
That's actually an easy question to answer. Demographics got rid of a good 2 million of his voters between 2008 and 2012 (minority death rates are higher unless you're Japanese). He lost 4 million in the aggregate, which means he failed to make up for the dead people AND discouraged another 2 million ~ probably mostly young black men without jobs but having college degrees.
He also lost another 2 million new voters who would usually have registered to vote for the first time but didn't ~ again, another body of disaffected people.
WE CAN GET THOSE VOTERS! That's 4 million to 6 million potential Republicans ~ and with them we can win any election.
We must beware of any politician who tells us we can get new voters during the campaign ~ does not happen! We need to find and register new Republican voters long before the campaign. The primaries may well provide us with the best method to stir their interest hence we must BEHAVE OURSELVES ~ that nominating petition BS in Virginia probably alienated all of our potential new Republican voters for a generation. It's going to be very tough to undo the damage Bolling and Romney did in this state!
“Those votes did not turn into Republican votes BTW. “
Riebus couldn’t even get previous Republican voters out. Possibley because they have been disenfranchised by the party of RINOs. Where the heck were any conservative values? Romney already supported a form of obamacare, abortions and amnesty. And now Rove and Priebus want to further step into the pile of crap they manufactured for the party of the “values”?
@11. Sirchtruth: “You can not legislate from a position of compromise.”
As some wit once said, “It’s impossible to look up to someone who has their ear to the ground.”
????
Christie was her first pick, he wouldnt run so she endorsed Romney as being ‘the most electable’.
I guess she like Rush expects her loyal fans to have no memories.
The GOP primary process isn’t working because the elites have too much control and keep forcing losers like them on the party.
“I guess she like Rush expects her loyal fans to have no memories. “
That is exactly why I don’t listen to either one of them now. Makes my life a whole lot more calm & peaceful too. BTW, they both expect support for the crap they write and any product they endorse like the awful tea Rush claims to have created, nasty tasting & expensive.
Ann Coulter is as dead to me as Fredo was to Michael.
Rush is like :
“Bla-bla-bla conservative... bla-bla-bla ...Romney will win....bla-bla-bla.. I told you so folks as I am always right ...bla-bla-bla....Obama will cave if.....bla-bla-bla... our principles...bla-bla-bla... YOU need Life-lock call this #...”
Those sneak in commercials he weaves into the end of his ‘bla-bla-bla's’ monologs are especially annoying. I can make it through 5 to 10 minutes of his BS
He is too successful for ‘our’ own good.
