regardless of what “they” THINK is the reason, it’s all on us.
Trump won because of more than name ID. To think people in PA went into the booth yesterday, opened their ballot and said, “Hmmmm...who’s this Cruz guy?” is to believe most of the electorate to be completely, totally stupid. I don’t buy that.
Why do incumbents defeat challengers when they get primaried? Lots of times it’s because they use multiple challengers and divide the anti-incumbent vote.
Boehner did that effectively in his last re-election campaign. I think there were five opponents splitting the vote. He probably funded 4 of the 5 opposition campaigns.
Hmm. Last poll I saw in AZ showed McLame losing.
Also, I don’t know the PA races he cites, but races require two people. Just because you’re an “outsider” doesn’t mean you’re a good candidate. And I can’t vouch for what they ran on (and I doubt the author knows either).
So, no, it isn’t Trump’s fault and it doesn’t mean we aren’t on the verge of a revolution.
