Well we had plenty of candidates we begged to run, but didn’t. Young bloods, fresh faces, rising stars. None hopped in. We did do our part. Ryan who has been reelected a number of times and is brilliant, could not be convinced to run, even after he’s handed Obama it several times face to face. Christie, no. Jindal, no. Rubio, no. Palin, no. The tea party was behind these folks. We’d love to vote for one of them. They didn’t want to come to the dance.
It’s all well and good and you’re right we need to get people in from the bottom up, but when they get big and there’s a vacuum in the leadership and people are begging them to run and they don’t, it isn’t the tea party peoples’ fault.
I decided 25 years ago that Management is 10% of the (pain in the ass) people taking up 90% of your time for 5% more pay.
