we nominated a rich liberal from MASS. that hasn’t worked since 1960. we failed to stand by our princples and went with someone who ran on a ‘trust me’ platform.
what did we expect? one wonders what would have happenned had we run a true conservative...
I don't know for sure, but my guess is, with the electorate we have and the mood of the country, the TrueConservativeTM (whatever that is), would lose 50 states and DC and get maybe 25-30% of the PV. That is assuming they were even around to see it. The media would run them out of town on a rail.
We'll never know because a real conservative will never be nominated by the GOP again and a real conservative will never, ever win national office again in this country as currently constituted.

Just who might that true conservative have been? Certainly not any of the "candidates" who ran this time.
