He came across so snotty and rude from the get go...I guess he turned off a lot of people. And...most people don’t care much for the social and economic ideology of liberaltarians when push comes to shove.

Good point. Moreover, I think that if the GOP can’t nominate some kind of “happy warrior” for the 2016 race, Hilary will remain the overwhelming favorite to seize the POTUS jub. She may come across sometimes as a scolding school marm, but at least she doesn’t come across — à la Trump, Cruz, Christie and Paul — as a grouch.
(I just wish somebody would give Cruz a smile-and-humor transplant!)
