We are going to have to start strategizing for this 2016 election the second the Midterms are over. I’m going back over the 2012 primary debates and its no wonder Mitt Romney won the nomination. He chewed up Rick Perry without mercy. The Establishment trained him well to divide and conquer, lie about his positions, and woo the audience to cheer for him.
We need to coalesce behind a candidate and launch an all out infowar on the RINOs, whether its Krispy Kreme or stupid Jeb.
The way I saw it was the merciless number of debates killed us, but when Newt caught fire in one, the debate rules were changed to end chances of that ever happening again, ending it once and for all. They had to throw a bag over Newt, tied at the neck. Newt takes South Carolina and Adelson cuts off his money conveniently, as the cash cascade begins in earnest for Mitt with Big Money to take Florida.
Wa-Lah! Newt’s broke, therefore done, and Romney is the “it” guy, but for the short bump for Santorum.
Money and timing was key in ‘12. It will be again.
FMR. He went intramural and then went completely flacid against Barrack.
Then again, he was either Barrack lite or a manager who’s only intent was to climb the ladder in “his” career move.
