You make no sense.
We didn’t want Campbell to win, and he didn’t.
So what’s the harm in DeVore staying in?
What we really wanted was DeVore to win.
DeVore dropping out wouldn’t have helped that, now, would it?
By him staying in he took 17% of support off the table and made the race closer for Campbell then it ever needed to be. If he would have dropped out and supported Carly a couple weeks ago when the writing was on the wall he would have earned favors from Carly that he could have called in at a later time. By staying in. he cost Carly money, time and effort. Something she will not soon forget. He and his supporters now have no voice in a Carly campaign at least not enough to shape her positions on important issues.
And if that doesn't make sense to you I can not explain it any better. this is politics 101
