What you articulated is what I’ve been arguing in forums like this ( to no avail ).
Loo, I never did like Mitt Romney and did not support him in the primaries. But after he won, what would have been the alternative?
Some FReepers went third party (which in effect WASTED their votes ). Many stayed home.
There result was a 5 million vote margin ( fraud included ).
If we had Mitt at the helm, at least Obamacare would have been repealed by now. That alone would be worth the lesser evil that Mitt Romney is rather than this gargantuan evil that we have now.
But be assured, this issue will rear its head again this middle of year and in 2016.
“Some FReepers went third party (which in effect WASTED their votes ). Many stayed home.”
Maybe if enough of us do that often enough, we’ll start getting some acceptible candidates.
“There result was a 5 million vote margin ( fraud included ).”
IMO, the fraud was about 7 million votes.
“If we had Mitt at the helm, at least Obamacare would have been repealed by now.”
Really? Mr. RomneyCare would have appealed the same thing he did as a state governor? When pigs fly.
He would have said, “All this needs is my magic touch,” and proceeded to tweak Obamacare until it was worse than when he started.
A Christie or Romney won’t get conservative volunteers and workers so he won’t win. Enthusiasm can’t be forced. Period.
Why the GOP won’t meet conservatives half way I just do not understand.
Anyway, conservatives must look to non-presidential campaigns - especially the House.
There is where impact can be made.
