    No. The grassroots GOP hates their party. Dems don't particularly hate their party. They aren't necessarily excited by their candidate, but there is no hatred for her or the party, and Dems will happily vote for her.

    Sort of like how Obama was going to lose to Romney according to you? I'm not sure your political prognosticating is quite as good as you think it is.

    We are seeing another presidential election meltdown by bobmarley. Start the countdown clock for him to post about leaving the D&D again.

    I'm fine with being questioned. Its just hard to decode your posts because you are struggling putting words together into coherent sentences. But I would be happy to back up my claims.

    Douchebag evidence:

    Do I need more to correctly have an opinion that Cruz is a douchebag, or is this sufficient? I can move onto his idiotic political ideas when I get home from work. I anxiously await trying decode your written response.

    I particularly like that on the morning of election day, he thought Romney was winning Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, and New Hampshire. And he thought Romney had a shot at Michigan, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. The polls had to be all wrong because voters were angry!

    I picked the previous winner correctly. ;)

    I wanted anyone to beat Obama. I didn't care for Romney much, but he was the candidate.

    This time Demos have tired ole' Hillary running, and there is an actual Conservative that can win the nomination. Winning.

    Did morley do that last time? He did thoroughly embarrass himself during the 2012 election cycle, but I don't remember him going full jopat.

    So your views are biased by what you want to happen. You've also made clear you can't stand Hillary. What does that tell us?

    I believe he did. I am going off of memory so I might have some details incorrect.

    Meltdown? Aww, Republican establishment, and Demo crowd are the one having a meltdown right now.

    Just know my audience, that is all.

    What no links? What you do, copy and paste from your manifesto?

    So...

    I see that you hate Ted because he was a good debater and student.

    He filibustered the worst piece of legislation during Obama's reign.

    He showed American's how far the Republican establishment will go to grow government.

    And he fought a 'relief aid' aka bacon sandwich, that was about 70% pork, and showed other states how it's done by asking for relief aid that had no pork.

    You are really shooting yourself in the foot. This is fun. You may actually want to provide actual evidence next time, not some contrived garbage, that you copy and pasted.

    Good job though, for a JV player.


    I was really wanting Romney to win. I supported him and did my part. Learned my lesson that a mushy Moderate can't win the Presidency.

    You guys really are helping me make Ted Cruz's case for the nomination. Thank you.

    Look everybody, aren't the children so cute. They play so nicely together.

    Only thing embarrassing was the Republicans running a mushy moderate last election.

    No, my views were based off voting for Obama in 08 and being horribly wrong. No bias, just learned my lesson. There is already enough information out there about Hillary there is no need for me to worry about her.

    But you do bring up a good argument of bias for your own arguments and posts. Job well done.

    Yes, I was so distraught. Poor ole' me, however did I manage. :roll eyes:

    You guys really need some counseling. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas!

    I can see why Cruz is appealing to to you.

    You guys seem to share personality traits.

    You quite clearly didn't learn your lesson. The problem for the GOP was not in selecting a moderate. It was in selecting a very unlikable candidate. Ted Cruz is worse in that regard - not better. Romney didn't have a problem with conservative voters.

    His main problem came with evangelical voters. Even if only an additional 10 of the 54 million who didn't vote, vote, that election changes.

    He also had a bad time with tea party people because of his RomneyCare.

    He lost because he didn't inspire anyone, not likability.

    The old "If he hadn't lost, he would have won" argument. True every time!
