The damage was done when we failed to knock him out of the primary. All else was perfectly predictable. Only the true blue GOPers were blind to it.
I’m in Kansas. We had a primary.
There was ONE candidate left.
Next question...
Even had he been knocked out, none of the other candidates were going to make it to November. I landed on Santorum, but there was not getting around that he was second tier. We needed a star, and that was Gov. Scott Walker fresh off his recall victory. That this party allows the worst or unviable individuals to run to be the leader of the free world is abominable. 2008 should’ve taught us a lesson, but 2012 was nothing but a repeat (and also a bone-chilling warning that the establishment of the party is more than happy with having a Democrat win).
