But it was HIS turn. Just like it was Dole's in 1996. And Dubya's in 2000. That's the way the GOPe has worked for close to a century.
With the exception of 1980 and 2016, of course, when a couple REAL men stepped forward and stepped on a lot of GOPe toes. Heck, they almost showed the world that the Elephant wasn't just another Donkey in disguise.
But it was HIS turn.
I remember being shocked when it was basically announced McSlime had been annointed as the candidate, virtually without comment or opposition.
