The man only the republican establishment wanted was nominated. Conservatives supported literally everybody but him. And he lost. Could not even garner the same number of votes as the last loser they picked.
“Conservatives supported literally everybody but him”
Well they didn’t do a good job picking an alternative candidate and sticking with him. One week Perry, then Cain then Newt and finally Santorum. I’m surprised Michelle didn’t have her week though at least she’s back in the House.
bingo- this defeat should be laid squarely at the feet of the GOPe...a rudderless ship with a bunch of little girls at the helm....
