He bought and paid for it and destroyed many conservatives with attacks along the way

The 'conservatives' were shooting themselves in the foot. They ran too many candidates [shades of 2008] and kept the voting split, even when it was obvious certain ones were not going to win. And the 'conservative' candidates did themselves in -- they didn't need much assistance/attacks from the other candidates.

The GOPe ran one candidate. The GOPconservatives had 5 or 6. More is not always better. It wasn't in 2008. It wasn't in 2012.

What's that definition of insanity?

It happens every four years. I blame our side more than anyone else. After the first 2 or 3 Primarys they should have gotten together and coalesced around one, at the most two, Conservative candidate(s). But, no, their egos wouldn't let them.

None of the non-Romneys was a good candidate.
