Myopic reasoning which utterly fails to take in all the factors.
Your brand of capitulation (and that is all your reasoning is youfail to comprehend its not mere pragmatism) is how the Romney and McCain wing became dominant.
No more. Your brand of thinking had its chance and failed spectacularly.
It is time for the adults to stand up.
I didn’t want Romney in the primaries, but we ended up with him. Many stayed home in the general election so we got a second term of Obama. Romney had his faults, but would have been much better than what we have now.
