No, I think most of them came over and supported Romney. However, he had little appeal to independents who simply could not relate to the guy and his campaign did not, as far as I could see, look aggressively for potential unregistered GOP voters and get them registered and to the polls - the way Rove did in 2000 and 2004 and the way Obama did with similar potential Dems in 2008 and 2012.

Yeah those damned voters!!! How dare they expect a candidate running for office in a representative government actually represent even some of the same values.

When your team doesn't win the championships, do you blame the people in the crowd too?

It's been awhile since I posed these questions (and out of all the times have had ZERO reasoned responses), but lets ask again.

Myth Romney supports platforms near the same as those supported by Hillary Clinton - anti-gun; socialized medicine; "rare, safe, and legal abortion;" pro-queer "marriage," arming Al-Qa'ida rebels in Syria. So the questions I have posed:

If Hillary became an (R) and was running against 0 would you vote for her?

If so/not why/why not?
