Duopoly is dangerous, bad for liberty and coming to an end - one way or another. Either you will have tyranny or the States will open the ballots up to more parties, more candidates, more ideas and then we can have real competition. If that happens there is no doubt that you will have more conservative/libertarian parties and the Left will die - they only exist because of parrots and repeaters - they cannot compete in a free market. BRING IT ON!
We have two enemies; the Left and the RNC progressives in the party.
Those of us involved in the ground game weren't battling Democrats during the primary; we were battling Romney people who basically acted just like democrats.
Newt and the rest of them talk about the leftist political machine and ground game... well, we had one and it was owned by the RNC and Romney. They had developed it to get Romney the nomination.
The problem is by the time Romney stole the primary, the whole party was severely split. Plus, they couldn't shift the machine and take on Obama effectively. I have never followed anything on a national basis this closely before.
All the data was there, all the patterns were there; the strategies, the marketing, the social media hacks and infiltrators, etc. They had a machine. The problem was it was used against conservatives and Paul people of which they needed their votes to win with.
And it was used against the third party candidates. We all saw the people shift at the end to attack the idea of voting for a third party candidate.
Here’s the problem - Rove, Romney and the RNC social media machine were only good at attacking and creating doubt and fear. They couldn’t sell a terrible candidate that nobody liked. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from the GOP primary.
