He had to run. He was in the zone. One never knows what will happen to the front runner.

Remember when GHWB was practically guaranteed reelection. Mario Cuomo stayed out. Jay Rockafeller stayed out. Others stayed out. Then, intending 1992 to be his practice run, Bill Clinton waltzed to the WH.

Anything can happen. ALL of the Pubbies who ran this cycle did the right thing. What they do next is the big test.

” Bill Clinton waltzed to the WH.”

Just like Obama.

“Then, intending 1992 to be his practice run, Bill Clinton waltzed to the WH”.
______________________________

Actually, Clinton won the WH with 43% of the popular vote. You left out that Ross Perot doomed GWH Bush by taking 19% of the vote. Perot also prevented Dole from winning in 1996. Clinton never achieved a majority of the popular vote in either of his victories.

You forgot: Ross Perot.

In hind sight, I wish that I had stayed out of the Bushes and voted for Ross Perot myself.

So wasting huge amounts of money while they get single digit % is the right thing?
Saying and doing stupid things in the process of wasting huge amounts of money is the right thing?

If people would just do as God (not people or their own foolish mind) tells them to there wouldnt be so much waste and things would all work out well. Even the rough patches would make sense and be worth it. Instead people try to make things happen or do for man made selfish reasons and they create more problems and unnecessary situations for the country and themselves.

“ALL of the Pubbies who ran this cycle did the right thing”

agreed ... watching a gaggle of single-digit midgets repeatedly tear apart each other and the massively popular GOP standard bearer Donald Trump on live TV has certainly endeared the GOP to millions of voters who would have otherwise been completely turned off by the GOP, as well as demonstrated the amazing leadership potential of GOP candidates ...
