[ Mitt did wipe the floor with Obama in the second debate and should have continued to stick it to him in the last debate and the rest of the campaign, but his milquetoast advisers were afraid of alienating the fictional moderate voters and had him tone it down. ]
So the “Rove Wing” of the GOP is what neutered Mitt... Seems about right...
Not that Mitt wasn’t already somewhat gelded...
[ The only cndidate that could have beaten Obama was Ron Paul.
Both sides knew this.
The RNC elite needed to lose this election, because they make more money as the untested underdog. ]
I agree, Ron Paul was “Crazy enough to actually win” because as I saw it Ron Paul was the only Republican who wouldn’t have listened to the Rove type advisors in the race.. He would have drawn off enough disaffected wingbats from Obama as well.
He may not have actually won, but he would have come closer than Mittens the wonder Kitten.
At the very least by being so far out of it Ron Paul would have at least provided CONTRAST, something that seemed to be missing due to the Rovers influence on Mitts Campaign.
After 5 years of the WORST President EVER, you people are still bashing Mitt? Good Lord......
Who the heck would watch this crapola? Utah?
The sooner this is in the remainder bin, bundled with Saran wrap with “The Man From Plains”, and Al Gore’s “An Unfortunate Truth”, for 50 cents, or three bundles for 25 cents, the better.
Thank you. Romney ran a very conservative campaign, including calling for the self deportation of illegal aliens. He lost for many reasons including the IRS suppression of the tea party, anti Mormon prejudice, conservatives’ belief he was a liberal, and his own campaign’s timidity because they thought he had it won.
Oh and Paul Ryan sucked as a VP candidate.
But Romney may have been our last chance to stop what Obama and Hilary are doing to America.
Remember the changes Willard made to the rules at the start of the GOP Convention in 2012 ???
One being for delegates..
a delegate couldn’t change his mind and vote for someone other than the one he was there for or something like that..
and other things to tie the hands of TEA Partiers ...
well I am listening to a local talk show here in SE TN and a Republican committee woman for our state party is explaining about some of the new things on the agenda for the GOP winter meeting...
one of them is that states have to hold their primaries AFTER March 1st..
only 4 states..Iowa, NH, SC and one other will be allowed to hold them in Feb..
Florida wants to hold theirs in Feb too but Florida is fixing to be punished further than they were in 2012 if they don’t toe the eGOP line..
(also I heard the other day that the GOP are wanting to hold their 2016 convention in June not wait until Aug..)
so I put both items together..
primaries not until March 1st and the candidate must be chosen by June..
short running time..
the committee woman (who loves Willard BTW and has been a dizzy delegate for him)) said the TEA Party and others claim that the primaries after March 1st would hurt any grassroots candidates while benefitting candidates with large war chests and big donors...
(Like Willard and the $100M he spent in 2012..)
Oh no the twit chirped, It wont..
So the GOP is making the way smooth for Willard in 2016..
Another thing she said was that in 2016 the field must be smaller than 2012..
so the GOP is going to decide who will be allowed to even file to run ???
I can just see this benefitting Willard no end..
Lots of talk about Ron Paul and the annoying fact he stayed in till the almost end..
How dare he do that to po lil Willard...
I wasn’t aware of any of that, but your post makes me recall two things....
One, the other day I read here that the GOP is panicking over Christie’s troubles and wondering if they should try Romney again...
...and two, Karl Rove said in a Fox interview that the Tea Party, in the end, will vote for whomever the nominee happens to be.
Try us and see.
One of the reasons for the delegate change in 2012 was because Willard was afraid of the Conservati8ve Governor Sarah Palin..
she was popular, better fitted to be POTUS than he was, and she was there in Florida with bells on..
he denied her access to the convention and a speaking part which she should have had, and then he shut out any hope that the delegates would vote for her instead of him as they could have done in accordance with some state GOP’s rules..
I tried calling in to say that the GOP should disqualify any candidate who has already had the GOP nomination LOL
but I couldn’t get through..
the next time I hear gleeful talk about the oh so wonderful eGOP or anything about po lil hard-done-by Willard, I’ll call in to say that..
;)
