Given the state of the GOP today, Ronald Reagan would not have won the primary in 2008 or 2012. That alone speaks volumes about how disorganized the GOP is; with respect to the VOTER, more so than the party itself. Those who stayed home, voted only down ticket, or voted for a turd party candidate are more to blame for the state this nation is currently in than does Obozo - we all knew, or should have known, what Obozo would do as President. At least, I knew what he was going to do before 2008. It didn’t require a rocket scientist to figure it out.
Disorganized?
You remember the Bush dollar/pesos?
Bush and company all but destroyed the GOP all by themselves....
Between his decades long compassionate wars and lawless open borders which he aided and abetted, were enough to make most conservatives recoil....Bush made me an Independent, while making American citizenship all but pointless.
Nonsense, Reagan would have swept the primaries, even the introduction of Governor Palin in 2008 proved that as republicans wished that she was the top of the ticket, and she was a much younger, much lesser known, female Reagan, Reagan himself would have swept aside the field.
Running the anti-Reagan, radical liberal Romney in 2012 was an absolute disaster.
