It's like you say, it seems the campaign was a scam. Something is really fucked up with the way this went down.
I am thinking like criminal wall street scam right now like this. Trust me - i am so upset and livid you have no idea and I think 240 may have been right all along w the Trump stuff.
1. Romney the RINO flip flopper uses money to destroy opponents in the primary by getting votes in obama terroritories he was never going to win in the general to obama.
2. Romney destroys every primary opponent w viscious tactics making people believe he will do the same vs obama
3. Romney fools people into thinking he got religion and is now a conservative true believer
4. Romney creates a narrative that he is the most electable w indes and to the public.
5. Romney wins but shoves the ron paul, palin, santorum, newt, tea party, supporters aside for the karl rove, neocon, beltway, big money types who then use the campaign to make massive $$$$$.
6. Romney tosses a bone to the right w Paul Ryan but Ryan is muted and really kept out of sight.
7. Campaign stays silent for months on end in the summer while obama is carpet bombing him. Many on the right are like WTF!!!! Respond damn it! Romney allows obama to create narrative of romney being a monster.
8. Convention comes and its the same ole same ole. blah blah and Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, and the base get shoved aside so that we can have more bs speeches.
9. 47% movie emerges and creates rallying cry for the left. No response but muddles bs.
10. tons of volunteers like myself are kept in the dark and have no direction at all. I was signed up as a volunteer, but decided at the end between the incompetent campaign and Sandy to just stay put. The GOTV and internals of the campaign were literally like a ponzi scheme. It was all a shell game! No plan, plan organization, nothing! Fuck - when i asked WTF was going on w the legal street teams i got fund raising emails!
11. First debate Romney kills it. Gets people pumped - tons of $$$$$$ flows it like crazy!
12. 2nd and third debate Romney mails it in. Why?
I have no idea other than he was gaining too much traction and was intending to lose and was playing the part.
13. Evidence of voter fraud and other bs emerges and romney says a word why? Because he never intended to win.
This was all a huge scam to fleece donors of huge $$$$, create false hopes in the minds of well intended people who really wanted to see obama gone, create just enough buzz to keep the GOP control of the house of reps, and enrich a few of these well connected beltway scum.
Do I feel played, betrayed, pissed off, etc? YES!!!!
Did Romney ever make overtures to the paul, palin , tea party, crowd who won the gop control in 2010? NO!
Did Romney ever call in to Rush, Levin, Savage, etc? NO!
Did Romney ever repudiate the bs from the beltway RINO's? NO!
Sorry - the more i think about this in toto - the more I think this was all an elaborate scam.
