“The base” was not intact.
Did you type this “(This is pointless. The base was intact and we were hammered.)” with a straight face?
ROTFLMAO!

I did type it and yes, with a straight face. The base in and of itself can’t do bubkus. The base was voting and the base was energized and the base was largely alone. When a conservative candidate wins, so many run out and shout with glee that they were right all along and that it’s the base this and the base that. When we lose the mantra is simply reversed. We didn’t please the base so the base stayed home. It’s really just a character flaw or avoidance/abdication of responsibility. I’m tired of the infighting and I’m tired of the school of thought that a small percentage of the population can somehow win an election on their own. Influence perhaps but when several groups vote for something they all participate in the outcome. I have zero patience for those who if they don’t get it their way, take their marbles and go home crying to Mom.
