Personally...I think Cuccinelli shot himself in the foot when he refused to meet with Ted Cruz. He played it safe, instead. However, I know that a lot of Virginians are very conservative, but trust neither major party. That is the only reason the libertarian fared so well. That was the message, really, that although they probably like the republicans more, they don’t trust republicans who shy away from true conservatism. I realize it is not 1980, or 1984 any longer, but true conservatives win when they stick to their guns and don’t take the gop-e advice. IF you play it safe and try to look middle of the road, it sends the wrong message. I was so angry over this issue, and even though I don’t live there, I know others who do. They are tired of those who are afraid to stand up and hold the line.
He should have met with Cruz. The two share a lot in common.
