I think the States that had early Primaries, and allowed Independents to vote for a Republican nominee are to blame for this.
No Fred is to blame. He ran the worst campaign in history. Stop passing blame elsewhere instead of the source. Even Fred would be pissed off at you passing the buck.
Honestly the worst campaign is officially Giuliani in my opinion. He hasn’t gotten any support and he is banking on a showing if Florida which seems to be going by the wayside.
Fred could never overcome the narrative written about him.
