Romney was the symptom of the problem.
What is it about the GOP that causes it to nominate unelectable candidates?
1988: Bush - electable, because he ran as Reagan’s third term
1992: Bush - unelectable, because he ran as himself
1996: Dole - unelectable
2000: Bush - electable, but only because the Dems nominated Gore
2004: Bush - electable
2008: McCain - unelectable
2012: Romney - unelectable (couldn’t beat the weakest Dem candidate in 50 years)
What is it about the GOP process that causes them to nominate weak candidates? That’s the core problem we should look at.
I agree. That's scary to see the pattern of the party bosses in whom they pick. I really think the party looks at the devoted patriotic American as the extreme voice.. why move the republican platform further left. The Tea Party was not even welcomed at Romney's staged convention. Houston, we found the problem :)
