Why doesn't the gop run better candidates?

Romney not running again (unlike the power hungry democrats) and also says it's time for fresh candidates.

this thread might need to be retitled to ask the same question about democrats

Romney realizes he's one of the next republicans on the block to be declared a RINO and given either the Cheney or the Pence treatment.  His age and freshness is irrelevant, he's just not MAGA enough to stick around.

And let's see who takes his place before we declare that the GOP traded up on this deal.  I'm not going to bat for the democrats so much as saying I'm skeptical this instance has much to do with better candidates, insofar as the quality of a GOP candidate seems to be directly linked to how much Trump ass they can kiss and how much Trump propaganda they can spread.  But there is no denying a lot of folks want that, so again "better" is a subjective term here.
