I won't get into all the details here because I don't have much time this morning to cover it. But the big consensus is how could a huge campaign for the most powerful office in the world be so wrong? The answer is so simple that I think many people are overlooking it. It all boils down to the alternate universe created by Fox News. They truly existed in their own reality where they believed they couldn't possibly lose.
Sometimes I refer to this co-reality as the Republican Fantasy World. But whatever you want to call it, it's real. It is a dimension with its own facts, its own data, its own media, its own reality. The Romney Camp operated entirely engulfed in this universe never once peaking out to view reality.
Their world is a place where President Obama was so unpopular they thought Sarah Palin could have beaten him. She even said herself that she can't believe the results from the American people. It's a world where they believe the unemployment rate has been fixed by the administration to help his reelection. Where Obama gave guns to Mexicans so they would commit crimes here and he could finally institute his gestapo to come and take away guns from every American people. It's a world where they believe the president's approval rating was in the low thirties. Where the polls were being skewed in his favor to ensure his reelection. They are told all this stuff and much, much more every second of every day on their Fox News teevee sets. So the question is, how could you not believe you were going to win when you're whole life is consumed by a false reality?
