    There is a fair amount of amnesia on this platform about how Mitt Romney & John McCain won primaries to become the Republican presidential nominees in 2012 & 2008.

        Didn’t McCain and Huckabee box Romney out in 2008?

        There were a bunch of things going on, and as in 2016, the dynamics of the field mattered a lot. But also, just as is true of Trump, they were the candidates the voters chose.

        2008 should have gone to the only candidate that was also a member of SAG.

        It annoys me that you reversed the chronological order. Almost as much as when people decided Romney was the conservative stalwart in 2008 but a RINO in 2012.

        Remember when Laura Ingram was all Romney all the time in 2008?

        They were each the best of a lot of bad choices. I’m not sure the Republican Party will accept that orthodoxy again especially since so many pols see the value of Trumpism without Trump

        There’s also a lot of delusion about the fact that they got their asses kicked in both generals

        There was no way any GOP candidate was going win for president in 2008--which doesn't change the fact that McCain ran a bad campaign...although it was a better campaign than Trump 2020.
