I’m familiar with the concept of demoralization, and with the concept of denial.
Those two candidates are the reason we are stuck with Mitt. Had one or the other dropped out early enough for the other to win, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Their pride split the conservative vote, and gave Mitt just the opening he needed.

We are not stuck with Mitt. The only way we are stuck with Mitt is if people give up right now, rather than winning the last half of the primary season for conservatives.
Like you.
If you have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, why even be in it? The one who offers only the taunts of “It’s too late” and “It’s your fault and there is no redemption possible” is the one who first posed on the earth as a snake, SnakeDoctor.
It’s not too late, and the people who want us to think so - who want us to be b!tching about the other guy always being the problem so we’re divided and fighting each other.... are those who are out to DEMORALIZE, to KILL, to keep us from being ABLE to be effective.
This is not over and you’ve presented nothing to show that it is. All you present is a hiss in the ears saying, “Give up. Your allies have betrayed you.”
You really need to watch “The Lord of the Rings”. There are SO many points of reference I could use here. Eowyn’s “Your words are poison!”, Theoden’s, “Where was Gondor...”, Galadriel’s “The quest stands on the edge of a knife...”, Gimli’s “And I suppose you think you’re the one to do it. Never trust an elf!”
What we need is Sam Gamgee’s “I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you!”
We need Aragorn’s “The day may come when the courage of men fails... but it is not this day! This day we fight!”
We need Aragorn’s “For Frodo!”
And we need Frodo’s, “I want to hear about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.”
Aragorn’s “If by my life or my death I can help you, I will. I pledge you my sword”. Legolas’ “And you have my bow.” And Gimli’s “And my axe”.
This is what we need right now. Not friendly fire and demoralization.
