There are better than 60% of Americans listed as conservative
Then why did we end up with a crappy candidate. The worst in the history of the Republican Party. I wonder about 60 percent when we end up with a liberal running on the Republican ticket.
No good ones ran.
“Then why did we end up with a crappy candidate.”
My simple theory is: People want the vanilla white guy with good hair, a wife and normal family who talks to them in a comforting manner.
In other words, pretty much the opposite of Obama.
I would speculate this nomination was promised to Romney four years ago and the establishment GOP told some of our conservative governors, etc. to stay out of the race. They complied and our conservatives in the primary, although good people, were a B team and easier for Romney to dispatch.
