Such a fascinating insight into the way you think about elections.
I mean, putting aside the tired reiteration of the whole, "Romney lost because he didn't have as good a ground game as Obama," line. I mean, that just smacks of plain-ol' pointless-revisionism-for-revisionism's-sake. We're all quite familiar with it.
No - what I'm interested in here is how you roll your eyes at thinking this guy could win an election, to say nothing of, well - running the United States government. Put another way, I don't know why the heading of this post isn't, "To think I thought this was a man who could run the country." The fact that that doesn't even occur to you (apparently) - or at least the fact that it's not the more relevant reflection vis-a-vis the gif - it leads one to question whether politics is ever about anything other than winning, for you - about overpowering and outmaneuvering an "opposition," just because.
