Basically, the increasing radicalization of
@GOP led to "reasonable" Republicans like@MittRomney and John McCain to be forced to pander to their fringe and abandon their commitment to reason. The same has been true of most previously reasonable pro-science Republicans. -
The other thing that was different in 2008 and 2012. I wasn't afraid of the prospect of a President John McCain or a President Mitt Romney. Sure I would have opposed most of their policies, but I wouldn't have viewed them as threats to our democracy and constitutional government.
