ML, that's what I see happening:
- the dims have put forward the weakest ticket of, oh, maybe forever
- an inept and anti-American dim president has been in charge for 7 years now, and the economy sucks, the
global situation is horrible goaded on by a corrupt/misguided American presence - the R's started with a pretty healthy field of potentially good candidates
- by circular gunfire have whittled that field down to a couple of possibly good candidates and one bombastic democrat-in-everything-but-name
- said democrat-in-everything-but-name looks like he will win the candidacy, and at which point:
- the democrat big guns will be rolled out to reveal all about the Republican candidate and
- either the unindicted criminal or the socialist will win the election
Talk about snatching defeat. Hell, we're going to proudly march in and hold it up as a standard!
I agree with every point of your analysis.
This was the year we could have rescued America. This was the year we could restore honor to the WH and leadership to the world.
And it is all being sucked away by a "democrat-in-everything-but-name." And a third of Republican primary voters are cheering on our demise.
