Because fortunately many "working class Whites" weren't Republicans yet, especially in the South ... The good old days.

Different time, and. Buchanan could never seem more moderate than he was, a necessary trait of every successful conservative candidate. Plus having the charisma of a garden slug didn't help....

Man, I remember how much I hated Buchanan. The worst thing ever to come out of the ugly side of the Pub drawer in my memory. And then out pop Cruz and Trump, making Pat seem almost genial by comparison. Are we having fun yet in your new party? Tongue

People like you leaving is WHY people like Cruz have more influence, so it seems bizarre for you to be upset about it if you don't care enough to stick around and be an alternate voice.

They were cowards.

Yeah, it would have been so much braver for Republicans to pick a less attractive candidate that they didn't prefer.

Another dynamite post, LOL.
