There are cases where voting for a repugnant candidate of your own party just doesnt make sense, like voting for Willard or McStain. I defy anyone to show that things would have been significantly different if either of those turds had beaten Hussein Obozo. This country has been cursed with abominable candidates for generations. At some point eating that schitt sandwich by voting for a turd just cant be stomached.
Dr Pretorius makes my point.
OF COURSE McCain and Romney were lousy Republicans...
But it’s also equally obvious to anyone not intentionally blinded by a dreamlike utopian vision that Barack Obama was a thousand times worse.
I would of course prefer people like Washington, Coolidge, Reagan and Trump every time, and not have to settle for mushy clods like McCain and Romney...
But if McCain or Romney were president between 2009 and 2017, we would not have seen hundreds of billions of US dollars given to Iran to prop up the mullahs... or all the advances against islamofascist terrorism that GW Bush accomplished squandered... or all the schools directed to allow boys to call themselves girls and take over high school girls’ bathrooms and even high school girls’ sports... or pot legalization marching across the country, state by state...
It’s incredible how much damage was done by Obama’s two terms. Even the worst republican would never have done such things...
But because McCain and Romney weren’t great, there was a segment of the right that stayed home or skipped the race, even some who voted FOR Obama out of anger at the GOP for allowing mushy clods to win the nomination...
And if just those few percent hadn’t been such fools, we would have been spared those eight miserable years.
