24. Simply PUT
Qualified does not necessarily mean viable.

Sometimes the most qualified simply don't have the political clout, the majority backing and a chance outside of the democratic party.

Acknowledging this fact does not make one a racist, it makes them a realist who understands, unfortunately, what sells.

For instance some really wonderful "products" (hate to use that term but it is the language) don't sell regardless of how good they are. There are many factors that go into selling something.

GW is the marketing equivalent of the pet rock. Totally unsellable in reality but when worked on by the dark wizards of the GOP, he can, miraculously become someone he is not.

It is a fucking game and we need to learn how to play it and not be stupid. And stupid would be taking a huge risk to elect what has previously been unelectable. That needs to be done when we have a good hold on the country...
That is the priority. Win the House or Senate, or both and then win the presidency.
