Wait a second here. Do actually think Ronald Reagan could win today in CA with current environment here in this state?
Do you actually think that Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum could have defeated Obama?
Romney-—running with Paul Ryan ran on a platform of cutting corporate and income tax rates across the board, repealing Obamacare, pro-life, pro-gun, pro traditional marriage, reforming Medicare and Social Security, turning Medicaid, Foodstamps, and other welfare programs over to the states, and a massive increase in domestic oil and gas drilling as well as coal use and nuclear power. They ran as conservatives across the board on every major front-—from the social issues, to spending, and tax issues, and being very pro-business. Was this not enough? Not that Romney was perfect-—no candidate is—he did run an excellent platform which made perfect sense to me. Romney understands the economy, the private sector and business, something which I thought we really needed. And no candidate in the GOP primaries was more tough on illegal immigration than Romney was.
