No my understanding of election history is fine. Cain, Bachmann and Perry did not have the money to compete. It was not that their message was bad. Perry was not physically ready for the campaign.
I was a Newt fan last cycle and Newt again did not have the money to counter Mitt’s smear campaign in Fla.
This cycle which you seem confused about has a self funded billionaire in the race who not only speaks out in a bold and unafraid way attacks his attackers and has the money to answer the negative ads with his own message. He also has the name recognition that others can only dream about.
You are somehow attempting to fit a round peg into a square hole and its just not working for you intellectually or emotionally.
I suggest you just get on the train and ride along to the Whitehouse with the rest of us. :-)
the point is, to use today’s polls as PROOF of who can do what is just absurd, anti history, anti logic and patently ridiculous. And that’s what you tried to do.
