“Oh, they can win the nomination, they just can not win the presidency....and the GOP never figures that out.”
On what planet are you that says 2 George Bush’s did not win the Presidency?
The planet where the first one lost the second term because republicans figured out he was not conservative and felt betrayed with his no new taxes pledge breaking and his wife coming out pro-choice and the second one running as a conservative....the same planet that gave us Dole, McCain and Romney losses also.
Seriously, a little history remembering does the trick.
