(12,606 posts)4. Nobody. The GOP is a fresh turd that nobody wants to be
caught holding. It'd too early. It hasn't even been a week, and Nobody wants to be linked to Mitt and failure.
The stench of defeat is still in the nose of the GOP.
They will get rid of Rence first, and possibly some of the GOP heads in Congress will be challenged.
They may actually even benefit from such a position. Their pundits can go back to the dreary attack of the Democratic party without having a figurehead that has to walk back any statements from them.
