Gilmore never had a prayer. He was the party’s sacrificial lamb.
I am so out of the loop ... what has Frederick done or not done?
I think the bottom line is that Frederick just hasn’t inspired anyone to believe he was up to the task.
He got flak for repeating one of Rush’s jokes (fine for Rush, not the party leader), he got caught up in a mistweet over a supposed power sharing deal that never took place (and likely wasn’t going to take place), he kinda looked foolish making an anti-Darwin speech on the House floor. There are other concerns that I don’t have the details of. Supposely there’s a list.
My biggest concern is not Frederick, but how this whole process makes the party look...again...
That is precisely what I was about to ask.
I was a delegate at the convention last May and there was a lot of excitement about Jeff. I think he won by such a wide margin, Hagar simply conceded without announcing the tally.
He is young and vivacious and had many wonderful ideas -- definitely not one of the elites. What in the world happened? Nothing Corin mentioned seems likely to take him down.
Perhaps EDINVA is on the right track with this comment;
Who’s heading up the cabal to take him down?
