Even though he was Bush's Economic Writer. I generally find him to be a reasonable conservative voice even though he endorsed Romney.

I'm glad at least some are speaking on it. Though found it ironic he was saying this on Morning Joe.

It was mentioned in another thread but it is SO true.
Its kind of like World of Warcraft where people get so immersed in it they can no longer tell the difference between what's real and whats in the game.

The reason conservatives lost is contained in your post and link, he endorsed Romney who, as Joe said, didn't stand up to madness sweeping over the Republican party. He thought that Romney would have been a great President when in fact he couldn't be an honest candidate. He ate shit for the right and got crucified for it. To win the Republican nomination will cost you the election. Republicans have gone insane and unless you are a coward and insane, you can't represent them. Normal people don't want a President like that, someone willingly becoming a piece of shit.

BTW best internet commercial ever on the link-a feisty 90 y.o. goes parachuting.

Wow, just watched this and frum nailed it. Funny thing is, he's persona non grata because he points out the ills of the republican party, but the republican party will have none of it.

He got the last laugh though.

They need to learn this, and fast. It is the only path to de-radicalization that doesn't involve pointless 20th century mistakes.

We don't have 30 years to hold conservatives hands to play cultural catchup. Get with it folks.

Funny most of us already knew this. Why didn't they?

Echo chamber logic.

Sometimes i wish i could be a conservative radio talkshow host. I'd make millions of dollars basically doing nothing but talking batshit crazy rightwing talking points while destroying the GOP from within. Some of these guys have to be Democratic plants

You are never to say anything about that.

I'm kind of amazed that he wrote an entire e-book already.

Great video. Too bad most conservatives won't see it.

He didn't write the book overnight. Everyone knew that Romney would not win except apparently Fox News.
