You know, I get the funny feeling told people that empowering liberal Republicans, Mitt in particular, was a REALLY bad idea. Not only did he lose, just as predicted, but he was emboldened to keep pushing the GOP leftward.
Now I can’t remember who it was that said that. IIRC there were several people here on FR that did, but it’s...fuzzy somehow. All I know is that those guys were right. Oh sure it MASSIVELY pisses off the leftists here that still scream in his defense to this day. But those guys were right.
I wish I could remember who it was...
Romney steering the GOP leftward. I always thought that was a given.
