re: #272 HappyWarrior

You’re talking about the GOP base. What about the rest of the population that isn’t the GOP base or Dem base. You don’t think that Mitt showing repeatedly from childhood to the present that he’d be the guy that would fire you and then chuckle about it. You are correctly about why Mitt did not strike a chord with the GOP base, what I am talking about is why Mitt did not strike a chord with the country. Little disappointed that you missed that part.

He was not half the asshole that Trump was, and that was his problem, Trump was a man who would hire you to do a job and then pay you pennies on the dollar.

The GOP just learned to fire up its base, gerrymander and suppress enough other voters that they needed to just top up that 27% of rabid Trump voters with another 20% or so of the voting public to gain an electoral majority

And it worked.
