The true crisis is that they hadn’t the courage to support their leader.

- I believe that’s accurate. And that the money stopped coming in when his party colleagues deemed it appropriate to denigrate his ability to lead. -- nm - Loyola Jul 21, 16:31
also "their aims" are beating Trump. That's a shared aim of all of us. -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:24
It was not a crisis of perception. Voters bought into the "he is tool old" thing and he was going to lose -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 16:23 1
- Oh yes it is because people perceived that "someone else" can beat Trump So what happens we wake up day after Election - eag Jul 21, 16:31
