RE: As soon as Saturday Night Live makes fun of him we will have to abandon him.
Well, I guess that would be true for any conservative candidate for President.
We should then abandon him or her as soon as SNL makes fun of him/her?
Why give this show this power?
Wow. The sarcasm was so obvious it was like a two-by-four to the head, and you still missed.
Why give this show this power?
Because we’ve done it before. It only takes one lie, repeated over and over from any source including SNL and our side immediately abandons said candidate. It happened in 2008, again in 2012. “I heard he supports abortion”, I heard he is for citizenship for illegals”, I heard he beats his wife”, “I heard he’s a cult member”. It matters not that it is an obvious lie, the candidate is suddenly radioactive and their candidacy burns out.
The resulting balkanization of conservatives leads to the GOPe steamrolling their POS candidate into the candidacy and the democrats win again.
It seems that too many conservatives, and conservative candidates are scared to stand up and defend themselves in the face of an onslaught. Sorry guys, this is politics today, and as it has always been. It is warfare, it is down and dirty, and if you are not willing to fight at their level and win then you get the failure you ask for. If you don’t aggressively fight back, you will lose every time.
