“Heck we even see this happening on Fr as soon as someone is presented as a potential candidate for Pres....everyone jumps on rips them down....
It’s not only the party...but the people who claim to be Republican and or Conservative .....they are never satisfied with whoever runs and cut our own throats.”
I can’t let that slide.
Good candidates will always win, lousy candidates will always lose big.
For example, look at Ronald Reagan and his vicious primaries against Ford and Bush. The GOP establishment did their best to destroy him and were just as vicious as the Dims, but Reagan won two landslide victories.
Now, let’s look at Mitt Trotsky. He didn’t lose because he had a tough primary. He lost because he sucked as a candidate. Even if you take out the voter fraud and disenfranchisement of active duty troops, Trotsky would have lost, because a lot of the base stayed home, since he was as exciting as damp cardboard.
Good points, all.
So our first order of business is who we would want for a candidate. Whether or not they have tossed in their hats.
