They said Reagan couldn’t win. But you know what? At the end of the campaign, he overcame Carter’s lead, people got off their butts and voted for him because they thought it was important to save the country.
Every candidate had people saying that particular candidate could not win. It happens every election. People stayed home, many of whom hate Mormons. If Bachman had been nominated, many would have said she couldn’t win. Same with Gingrich, and Santorum, and the rest.
Conservatives were not saying Reagan couldn't win so don't try to blame us for Romney.
The Establishment said they couldn’t win, like Sarah Palin, so they try a moderate and get slammed by the low-info and Socialized public educated morons who love a Muslim destroying the land ther forefathers died for. All for free stuff and PC “lets not criticize the black guy” when he is flushing their country down the drain.
