How can a candidate suck?
They can be total jerks. Or they can be marginally competent.
Or like this candidate you refer to, may have some odd sense of entitlement.
Unlike what the GOP thinks, voters do not owe their votes to any candidate or party and no party or candidate owns the votes.
If the candidate cannot attract the votes, then either the candidate failed to earn them or the candidate is in the wrong market.
The candidate failed to earn them.
