At 12:20 EST Rush applauds Willard's refusal to cave to MSM demands all day yesterday to throw Trump under the bus over Trumps "birther" statements, which Rush says McCain would have done.
I think you are right. He couldn’t sing his praises enough on the campaign trail. Chastising his own supporters for being afraid of that Marxist as President! What an idiot!
My sense is that McCain has never run a competitive race in his life, apart from going up against Bush in 2000 in the primaries and Obama in 2008. As a GOP senatorial candidate, his war hero record won his primary races, and as long as the electorate was majority Republican, he was a lock. Romney - on the other hand - has run only competitive races. His races in MA have been really difficult, given that he does represent the GOP, whereas the electorate is overwhelmingly liberal. He went up against McCain in 2008 with a liberal/moderate record established by his races in MA, as contrasted against McCain's war hero record. It's a miracle he was the runner-up. I'm still surprised that he won the GOP nomination this time around, given the amount of flak that came his way. He's not my candidate of choice, but he's certainly someone who doesn't shrink from a challenge, whether in the business or political world.
Good points.
You're right, he only about the same as McCain on those three issues. It's just the other issues that he's worse than McCain, like abortion, gun rights, the gay agenda, taxation, health care....
