"You didn't build that!"
Don't tell me that 2012 was about a gaffe. At least Romney's gaffe was true. He did make a couple mistakes though. He never called out Obama on his corruption, and he didn't go full speed after the first debate. And as an abstract, he never did anything before, during, or after about Obama's ballot box stuffing. None of this makes Romney not qualified to lead though. He's arguably the most desired politician in America right now. Republicans should be over-joyed about that despite all the negativity that people like you are perpetuating.
Romney was everyone's LEAST favorite candidate except for the bed wetters. He never had a majority of the base support. Every other republicrat got picked off by the media one by one until romney was simply the last one standing. Then the media long knives came out, and a complete lack of entusiasm on part of the anti-fascist voters allowed the moonbat messiah to squeak by with a little voter fraud to make ends meet.
If the GOP doesn't learn that it needs someone to oppose democrooks, rather than "out moderate" them, the GOP will continue to lose. We desperately need a guy like Ted Cruz who can very eloquently express his philosophy without apologizing for it, and can be trusted to go into the WH and roll back regressive liberal policies. If we get another appeaser like Christie or Bush they will compromise the rest of our freedom away. We will still end up going off the cliff, only a little slower than if a democrook gets the WH.
I say that if we're going off the cliff, then lets just elect a criminally insane democrook sociopath and mash the gas pedal. Like taking off a band-aid. Just rip it off and be done.
Romney was getting 40k to events while Obama was doing high school gyms. The problem wasn't enthusiasm; it was ballot box stuffing. Don't know why Republicans are so in denial about this reality. Dems wouldn't have taken that sh**.
