I sincerely doubt he could have beaten Hillary Clinton for President
But Ted is not the enemy , however he did act Childish at the GOP Convention
You seem to act that Trump is not on that page where he was the first to condemn and even tried to stop it while he wasn't President
>>I don’t think People hated Ted but preferred Donald J. Trump over him for President<<
Not here in FR. The Ted-haters were (and it looks like still are) more virulent than the Romney-haters (and that is pretty damn virulent).
Ted allowed himself to be set up at the convention. His speech was pre-approved. Even as Gingrich pointed out. It has always been a part of Ted’s speech style to imply and let the mind of others fill in the blanks of the direction he is pointing. The convention showed us how that style, usually quite effective, can be neutralized and even reversed, especially when your speech has been submitted and reviewed before hand.
