This aspect of the ‘blame game’ is total BS...it is the fault of this group; it is the fault of that group.
Here is who is at fault...the GOP nominates a candidate who was being rejected by 65-70% of Republican voters all the way thru the primary process. They leave their primaries ‘open’ to Democrat shenanigans. Then they are SHOCKED when a good portion of the 65%’ers don’t show up on Election Day. That ‘where else are they going to go?’ mandate didn’t sell. They stayed home. Blacks obey their plantation owners on Election Day...enough of the 65%’ers threw off their chains to keep Romney from winning. It’s as simple as that.
“Here is who is at fault...the GOP nominates a candidate who was being rejected by 65-70% of Republican voters all the way thru the primary process. They leave their primaries ‘open’ to Democrat shenanigans.”
A good place to start is eliminating the open primaries. The Dems use open primaries to choose their opponents. Akin would likely not have been a GOP Senate candidate without Dem voters in the primary and the Republicans would have picked up a Senate seat in Missouri.
