“Ryan and Romney should never have been elected”
Agreed, but rewind the tape here.
For years the likes of hannity, levin, limbaugh, coulter scolded and shamed the base if they hesitated to pull the ‘R’ lever because the candidate in question was a wet-noodle RINO at best, at traitor at worst.
Rush - (condescending tone) “How do you win by losing? Explain to me how you win by losing.”
Levin - “No, no no! Hold your nose, vote republican, and hold their feet to the fire.”
Coulter - “You ‘purists’ are the reason we don’t have the majority.”
Hannity - “Republiccans good; Democrats and Independents bad. Republicans good; Democrats and Independents bad. Republicans good...”
Over and over again, probably per Rove’s orders. And it always worked, the lemmings followed orders.
That is how Ryan, Snowe, Murkowski, Romney, McCain, etc., get elected.
Shame. We could have easily won with the right people. And we have PLENTY of good, energetic, principled people willing to be given a chance, but...
The problem is in some areas only R or D has any chance of winning.
What that causes is Demonrats in R jerseys getting elected, like Ryan, Romney,...
For years, that seemed the best course. However, this year we have seen the RINOs we held our noses and voted for actually take part in the coup to oust the president. I will never vote RINO again (not that it matters if we ever vote again in the Dominion era).
