Ward has been running to win. The desire is not the same as the result.
You are correct, though. A conservative has to be twice as good as a liberal to get elected. They are running with their legs hobbled and the Media throwing obstacles in their way.
Thanks - yes, it’s a VERY HIGH standard, but it is really easy for Republicans...just don’t say anything! ...unless it is thoroughly vetted. Comment on McCain’s death: “Very sad for the State of Arizona, the United States, and his family”...anything beyond that you vet with with 20 random FReepers (half women) to find out if you’re about to make an ass of yourself.
