re: #36 Targetpractice

Thing is, that was what Walker sold himself as and Bush before him: The “sane” emoderate who was seen as a viable nominee because he could appeal to the “mushy middle” and possibly strip off some Democrats from Hillary’s margins. And both have fallen victim to the same problem, namely that the demands by the party base to conform to their lunacy has left them unable to maneuver at all. I don’t see Kasich really doing much better than joining the chorus of those trying to sell themselves as the “sane” choice.

If ya think I’m wrong, consider how many folks made similar predictions about the political titan that was Rick Perry in 2012. Hell, even I bought into the idea for a while that he was gonna jump in, rule the debates, and come out the other side as a serious contender.

I was convinced that Perry was gonna walk away with it, but he was too doped up on painkillers to pick up the prize lying at his feet.
