“...why hasn’t she fired him?”
I know this will seem far fetched to some, but... ah... just maybe she LIKES winning.
And maybe, just maybe, she is adult enough to realize Rollins did nothing but give an honest opinion, unfavorable as it might have been to someone not currently running for anything. He was asked. And, doubtless from an old fashioned campaign guy’s point of view, building an audience and making tours and such are fine and dandy.
But a ‘serious’ candidate (again, from his perspective) is someone who is instead building election machines, winning or taking a different position before quitting your current one, staying as an active part of the political and governing processes, and making your intentions clear and your level of commitment credible.
I’m not sure why that is so difficult to comprehend for some.
Rollins expresses his own opinion of one of the non-candidates. RollinsPhobes freak out.
Dog bites man. Non-story.
By the Rollins-hating Bachmann bashers’ own logic, if Palin does not disown them, then she is unworthy of a conservative’s vote.
Irony bites bashers. Film at eleven.
I think someone is being childish to think that someone saying so and so is not a serious candidate is a firing offense, that is really beyond thin skinned. And if a candidate cannot take that one, they damn sure cannot handle the adult world of politics.
Why on earth would he do that? It's ridiculous expectation in a Presidential race.
Has Palin told Tammy Bruce to stop claiming Bachmann is a staking horse for Romney and apologize publicly for that?
