Organized ‘gay’ groups have long detested Rick. He won’t win any votes there regardless of what he says now. But no other GOP candidate is going to win many votes there either. This may actually win him some votes in net, but enhancing the base’s turnout.
Rick won’t lose votes over this and, I don’t see what he said as wrong in any way. It’s just illustrative of his cheesiness? dorkiness?...not sure of the best word, but you know what I mean.
I agree with you- but the GOP electorate is consumed with this notion of “electability”. Those outside his base are going to weigh these statements relative to his general appeal- his electability— so, I don’t think it helps.
I honestly hope it doesn’t hurt him because he has to stop Romney.
