You get the 85% if you are running INSIDE THE PARTY STRUCTURE. Even Palin gets 1% running outside the party structure. Just the way it is.
+It’s the way it was. You keep completely skipping over the fact that a whole bunch of Republicans cut up their registration cards post Romney.
You honestly believe they will run right back and vote for the next Romney? Seriously? It’s a whole new ballgame now. It is not what it was Nov 1 2012. It changed drastically.
And it isn’t just the hardcore on FR. I hear regular people who aren’t political junkies say it. You are flat out wrong. You are going by outdated data. The next election, if we get that far will show which of us is closest to right.
