Why is it the GOP always has 15 or 20 people running for President.
75-80% are fake conservatives or RINO’s.
And the democrats only have a couple.
I know the answer and so does every one else here.
It is the old GOPe’s divide and win trickery.
Divide the conservatives which allows the RINO to win the nomination.
(But lose the General Election)
We have seen this trick before.
Many times. The eventual Republican candidate loses because he has already won what he wants to win and does not care to suffer the Presidency or he wins accidentally with one exception, that being Reagan. Well GHWB is sort of an exception. He couldn’t lose the first time just because everyone hoped he would continue Reagan’s presidency. He tried to shuck it, though, and was finally successful the second time around. Reagan was the only serious Republican Nominee since Nixon.
