Obama is made of paper mache.
“In particular, Romney had no fight in him at all. People want a fighter.”
Given a choice between a fighter they know and someone with zero energy they don’t know, people will choose the fighter. With respect to the presidency it is very difficult to vote “FOR” someone who doesn’t give any appearance of wanting the job.
If the GOP runs Jeb Bush in 2016, expect another loss.
“Look at the tough fight W put up, in 2000. Where was that ground game, with Romney?”
The ground game could have been spearheaded by passionate Tea Party activists, fresh off a very successful 2010 Congressional campaign, who Romney refused to embrace.
Winning executives in the corporate world quickly learn to leverage assets. Romney refusing help from the Tea Party was the equivalent of the CEO of floundering company firing his best financial people the day before filing for bankruptcy and replacing them with workers from a temp agency.
Perhaps Romney’s reputation as a powerful executive was a mirage.
