Not true, don’t hate the guy, just know his abilities, and they aren’t enough to win a national election. And for the record, I voted for him in 06 even though I knew he had no chance in hell of winning. Just like if he is the nominee this time, I’ll vote for him even knowing he’ll lose.
This isn’t a personal, its an honest assesment of the guy. I watched him get effectively painted as a radical candidate and unacceptable and watch him and his surrogates flounder like fish out of the water over it.
This guy has no chance in a Chicago style no holes barred well funded campaign that would be launched against him if he is the nominee. End of the day I’ll vote for the Republican nominee no matter who it is, because its better than the alternative. If it boils down to another turd sammich vs doughbag election, then so be it.
As to a poll of republicans a year ago about senate nominees, all you got there was a name recognition reply, among a sample that represents less than 30% of the states population. And even among that he didn’t hit 50%.. So that means less than 15% of the states population would pick him as the republican nominee, and less than 50% of the republicans.. that equates to another ROUTING. HE wouldn’t carry PA today in a state wide race, he’d be blown out once again... he burned his bridges too many times here.
I am saying the same thing I have been saying, this guy was routed for a reason folks, he was voted out of office, folks didn’t rush to the polls to vote for his opponent, they crawled over glass to vote against him. That happened for a reason.. and that reason will become apparent soon enough.. Just hopefully soon enough to stop another electoral disaster.
I'm sorry I thought you hated him. You keep saying "He truly is hated across the political spectrum here", and so I assumed you were part of that spectrum that truly hated him. You certainly talk like you hate him, at least that's how it comes across.
In general, while I appreciate insight from people who live in a state or county, who are connected and know something that most people would miss, I find that people in states aren't always the best judges of their own politicians because they have too much history.
