7 of 10 Republicans that cast votes in the primaries voted
for one of the 7 much more conservative none GOPe candidates.
Next time there should be a pre primary so conservative party reformers pick a standard bearer to go up against the Organized Party bosses who have given us 2 Bushes, Dole, McCain and Romney all of the Rino’s.
When 70% of the base isn’t for your Dem Lite politics, you
get a shortfall of the faithfull showing up to vote and you
lose to Obama who got 9 million less votes than 4 years ago.
We just didn’t have a candidate that energized the base.
Note that almost all of the States that Mitt won in the primaries were the states he lost in the general....by the time it came to the one big state that reliably votes Republican, Texas, we didn’t have a voice in who the nominee would be...that’s F’d up!
