Thompson is a likable man who should not be our next President. There are worse alternatives to a Thompson Presidency, but still....
Who “should?”
And who “will?”
Yes... Giuliani, McCain, Romney, Huckabee, Paul, Clinton, Obama, and the rest of the Dims come to mind.
Well, put.
Many earnest conservatives here made the reasonable decision to eschew nail-biting and make a choice. And many of them picked Fred.
As often happens, when we go more with our hearts and our hopes than our heads and the record, they are being disappointed. Fred is clearly not the man on the white horse that many had hoped and believed he was. For them, these are bitter days.
I respect you all, Fredheads. The choice of a candidate is a close call for many of us. Few of us see a perfect candidate but, once having picked one, many of us feel the need to put him on an unassailable pedestal. When he falls, it is painful.
Conservatism still needs you this season, Fredheads. You'll find a new candidate...and he may be a winner. A Hillary victory is not written...unless we write it.
