As far as the GOP-e is concerned, after Dole, McCain, and now Romney, I've come to the conclusion that the GOP-e DOES NOT WANT the Presidency. Having the Presidency makes them accountable for results. They don't really want to be held accountable.
Just having some House and Senate seats allows them to enjoy the perks of being an elected official, without the fuss and drama of actually having to oppose the Dem agenda. People who were paying attention in Madison Wisconsin during Scott Walker's fight with the unions saw how ugly things can get when the Dems are actually opposed.
If you’ll read the piece I wrote, you’ll notice that Romney gets hit for his timidity. He was timid on Benghazi, the Budget, obamacare, and hispanics.
My contention is that a fighter would have done better.
Who was at least willing to be a fighter of those that ran this time? Romney absolutely, totally rolled over on Benghazi. There is simply no denying it.
Perry had the guts to speak out about God, abortion, and Hispanics. Gingrich had the guts to speak out on just about anything. Even Bachman took solid stands on life and obamacare.
I’d have picked someone with guts. Romney was “lukewarm”, as the bible says.
