Obama won due to election fraud, good speech writers and being able to bring the message of communism to the masses.
McCain and Romney lost because of the above.
Cruz could win because he’s intelligent, won’t need all those speech writers, won’t need election fraud, could probably get enough to run a good election, whatever etc.
If he was VP for Palin, well...
McCain lost because, despite what the voters of Arizona think, he is an idiot; an idiot of a very low character who had no idea of how to be in front of a national campaign.
Romney threw away his chance to win with a failure of nerve and no clear-cut ideology or belief system, which left him at the mercy of ridiculous consultants that led to an ineffectual campaign. "Mitt, The Mormon Milquetoast" says it all.
McCain and Romney did share one characteristic: fear. They were afraid to openly confront a fraud because he claimed to be a Negro. They were afraid the MSM would paint them as "racists," so they let the Magic Marxist Mulatto play the only card he has ever had: The Race Card. Racists are not nice people. Republicans think that they can win by being nice.
If this kind of match-up happens again, play The Race Card back in their face. Where was the bumper sticker that said "Obama: Half-Black, All Bad?"
