ToT, I suspect you're going to reject anything that doesn't support your enthusiasm for a politically correct gender and/or ethnicity based candidate. Sorry, but that seems to be the case.
"No, but do you think the Dem turnout was 100%?"
Uh, what?
Never mind.
"She's as ready as any of them, and I think we'll need someone with military experience."
As ready as any of them...now there's a ringing endorsement. As one Freeper said, the reaction to her bland post-SOTU address seemed to be different versions of, "Bless her heart, she did fine." But she wears a skirt, so, quick---nominate her.
"That's what actually happened, regardless of your point."
No. What has happened, over and over again, is conservatives getting all excited over someone because they fill a certain niche, expecting that single factor to garner votes, and coming away mystified when the magic failed to work. But some of us still keep hoping and trying.
"Hordes? Probably not, but I believe we would get votes from the middle that we might not get otherwise."
Your belief flies in the face of what we already know.
How did Mitt win the middle vote? He's as white as the snow outside my door. Was it the magic underwear?
"Ir is?;) The examples you gave did not prove your point."
It is. You've managed to miss the real occurrences which fly in the face of your fantasy, and now you need examples on an internet forum to prove them to you. Where've you been all this time?
"I agree, but this isn't the electorate that voted for Reagan in 1980 and 1984. We'll need every vote we can get."
You don't seem to agree. This isn't the first thread where you've voiced your enthusiasm for identity politics.
"Overall I prefer a male candidate."
"That does surprise me."
Does it? Why? I ask sincerely. I'm intrigued.
I want a Conservative who can win. IMO, a Conservative woman has a better chance of winning.
As ready as any of them...now there's a ringing endorsement.
She's a Conservative and a Vet. That's my endorsement of her to Conservatives.
As one Freeper said, the reaction to her bland post-SOTU address seemed to be different versions of, "Bless her heart, she did fine."
OK, she's a Conservative and a Vet, but you and/or another Freeper found her post-SOTU address bland. Decisions.
No. What has happened, over and over again, is conservatives getting all excited over someone because they fill a certain niche, expecting that single factor to garner votes, and coming away mystified when the magic failed to work.
You mean when FR rallied around Newt in 2012 to prevent a Romney nomination? That didn't work out too well either, did it?.
Your belief flies in the face of what we already know I believe.
Fixed.
How did Mitt win the middle vote? He's as white as the snow outside my door. Was it the magic underwear?
Maybe many in the middle knew what a catastrophe Obama would be if he was re-elected, and tried to prevent it. But Romney would have been just as bad as Obama, so I stayed home and/or voted third party.
It is. You've managed to miss the real occurrences which fly in the face of your fantasy...
You mean like what happened to West and Cain, which were the examples you used? Remind us again why they weren't nominated.
You don't seem to agree. This isn't the first thread where you've voiced your enthusiasm for identity politics.
You apparently can't tell the difference between enthusiasm for something and acknowledging that it exists.
Does it? Why? I ask sincerely. I'm intrigued.
Assuming you're a woman, isn't that a backwards form of identity politics?/i
