Romney didn't run the voting machines or force voters to accept 4 more years of Obozo.
Mormon candidates in the general election still repel many voters
You being one of the most obvious. I remember when Roman Catholics were suspect. How about those holy roller Southern Baptists?
"It's relatively easy for presidents to get on the outs with their denominations," says Wake Forest University Divinity School Dean Bill J. Leonard. It's hard to find a 20th-century president who didn't butt heads with some in his faith: ...Richard Nixon, a nominal Quaker, was strongly opposed by that pacifist faith over the Vietnam War. ...Ultimately, Southern Methodist University ethicist Robin Lovin says, politicians' moral judgments are influenced far less by today's church pronouncements than by their religious upbringing. The sermons, discussions and Sunday school classes in their home congregations many years ago may be their guide.
You can’t win an election while alienating your base.
United we stand, divided we FAIL. Who is this base to whom you refer? The uncompromising holier-than-thou whiners and complainers? When are you going to present the right wing conservative Christian you believe could have won the 2012 election and who do you believe would make the best candidate for 2016? Why do you run from the question?
RINOmney, the failed RINO candidate, offered little, connected little, and didn’t take it to Zero. ALL RINOmney’s fault.
My point was that a multitude of surveys, over more than a decade, have said about 20% of voters are far less likely to vote for a Mormon. We saw that put to the test and validated.
You sure whine a lot in the posts on this thread. You asked what we learned in ‘12. I have my list.
I have no favorite in ‘16. I don’t even know who is running. I will tell you I’m not a RINO-Plantation voter, so I hope some great choices run. If they don’t, prepare for the Hildabeast.
Do you already have a favorite?
