I agree with you about Romney but there was a lot of voter fraud. There was so much fraud being reported during early voting and I did not understand why no one fought against it. Fear of being called a racist? I certainly hope we can get a candidate that is not afraid to fight next time.
“There was so much fraud being reported during early voting and I did not understand why no one fought against it.”
The only reason I can think a candidate’s team wouldn’t fight is if he didn’t intend to win. I’ve known many successful business executives. They are all highly competitive, highly disciplined, have clear visions for their organizations, and are extremely aggressive in driving themselves and their organizations to achieve stretch goals.
Romney never behaved like an executive who wanted to win. His organization was staffed with paid administrators, not passionate advocates determined to win. His vision was never clearly communicated to the voters. He failed to seize opportunities to differentiate himself from Obama. He allowed his competition to define him and then played a weak game of defense instead of attacking the many failures of his opponent.
A winner would have had a game plan for every precinct in the nation. He and his team would have identified where fraud was likely to occur and would have manned the polling places susceptible to fraud with poll watchers and attorneys. At the first sign of fraud his attorneys would have been in front of a judge.
The more I think about it the more I believe the powers behind the scenes determined Obama would win the 2008 and 2012 elections. Romney and McCain were selected because they agreed to go through the motions and lose gracefully.
