Yes, because they did so well with Romney and McCain.
They keep thinking about 1964, and Goldwater, forgetting that if Kennedy had been running in 1964, that Goldwater would have fared much better running against a flawed and living Kennedy than against the myth of Camelot. Funny how they forget how radical Reagan was thought to be in 1980.
Its no longer about winning for the party but keeping what power they do have. We’re watching the pubbies fade away.
