Sorry, the other candidates stink. It wasn’t about Fred. It’s about the survival of the country, and all the others are pandering socialists. America has become a socialist country b/c the GOP has left the fight for Federalism since 1995. Under Gingrich and Bush, there has been , except for talk radio, an unfettered playing field for liberal propaganda. Even most GOP voters have been so dumbed down that they see conservatives like Fred as “scary”. I guess the Constitution is “scary to our enfeebled American population. Bob
I don’t know what to say to you, Fred’s candidacy was about Fred the candidate. If you were pinning your hopes on him to “save the country”, then I don’t think you’re seeing Fred the candidate in reality, but some idealized savior version of Fred in your own mind.
I had high hopes for him, but he did not turn out to be a great campaigner that was needed to win. And if he couldn’t run a good campaign in the Republican primary, I doubt he could have ran one in the general election either. That’s what primaries are, a qualifying round that weeds out the flawed candidates. Unfortunately, Fred was a flawed candidate despite being right on most issues.
