re: #96 Brian J.
I think it’s a believable hypothesis; if your entire campaign is built on being a WINNER! then how do you explain being a LOSER in your very first actual election ever? (This is one reason to miss the old straw polls that allowed campaigns to flex their muscles before the delegate contests; we really have no idea whether the Defenders of the White Race will actually show up to vote for their man.)
Haters and losers conspired to drag you down.
Stab in the back.
