If it was policy and positions that mattered, Obama and Hillary and their lapdog Wasserman-Shulz wouldn't be leading the divide-and-conquer strategy. They COUNT on their voters being simple enough to get whipped into a frenzy with a few buzzwords about a single issue.
Romney's problem wasn't that he was a man, it was that he actually tried to be about content and policy while Obama just kept running around saying "you can keep you doctor".
No. The problem was that Romney's proposed policies were ones that a majority of people did not agree with.
Look, I'm not going to argue that politicians don't use simplified rhetoric and talking points during elections. But all of this nonsense about Republicans just needing the right candidate is putting lipstick on the same old reactionary, corporatist, supply-side voodoo pig, and people know it. Thus the reason less people identify as Republicans than they have in over 25 years. The problem isn't personality, it's policy.
