Far better man than Romney ran. They were ignored in the name of ‘lesser evil’ and “Winning no matter what”. No one ‘won’ anything.
Why don’t more ‘better people” run? Because the conservative base can’t be trusted to vote for conservatives. And to this day many prove it screaming for more ‘lesser evil’.
Well Norm...the whole election system is pretty messed up. Too much money changes hands and to many “other” reasons people run for office , seems the last thing is a sincere desire to serve the country and it’s people.
We know it’s a fast track to wealth with all the inside information they have access to....and wealth means power. Plus it’s a pretty much a cushioned job.
I think it better said than “No one won anything” is no matter who wins they have to compromise in order to get some of what we want because that’s how it’s working now. Obam’s a perfect example when there is no compromise....and there is none because he thinks he’s King and has no skill in getting Congress to work with him.
