Why do folks still trust this moe?
According to articles I've read, he has a near encyclopedic memory for minutia relating to voting demographics down to near the precinct level. Kind of like a walking version of Obama's famed / infamous Orca program.
The problem is, (this sentence is MY opinion) he filters this knowledge through a DC mindset: such that people "really want" amnesty but just haven't been "educated enough" or people would really want gay marriage if just the correct number of ads propagandizing them; he really, really thinks that if you use the right focus-grouped phrases to tell them, people will believe you if you piss down their back and tell them it's raining. (Note the correct usage of it's as a contraction for "it is"...)
Orca was Romney's 2012 GOTV disaster. But Obama's 2008 campaign built upon the concepts Rove used in 2004 and then improved it for 2012. Hopefully, whoever gets the GOP nomination will do the same.
It's sad that you had the need to note that. How many sad realities of life are there?
