What's next? Having your reputation slammed in public if you open carry, oppose abortion, advocate for public health and entitlement reform, free speech, or countless other conservative causes. It excuses what the better funded and better motivated left can do to grassroots conservatives. It's not a path the right wants to go down, because it will lose. And Scott took some steps to make it OK for personal reasons. That isn't good government, good leadership, good politics, or good sense.
It is what you get when you elect people based on 30 second commercials and anger, rather than experience and temperament tested throughout decades of public service. They screw up and try to blame others. No matter how much of an idiot this woman was, he didnt know how to handle it properly and it showed. If he can't learn how to do it in 6 years, he will never learn. He is just not a good leader in the public sector. And his selfish way of handling it after the fact is going to set Republicans back.
Conservatives complain about the liberal media, but they bring it on themselves. They get what they deserve because they tolerate fools like this guy, Christine O'Donnell, Trump, West and all the others who have absolutely no business inserting themselves into public leadership without any experience influencing the public discourse. You don't have to have political experience to run for President or an executive office, but you do have a responsibility to know what the eff you are doing so you don't embarrass other candidates and hurt the Republican brand.
Otherwise you get crap like this ...
