“I’ll tell you, if I were a donor, my biggest problem would be that I was lied to. I was lied to by the, as David Frum said, the conservative entertainment establishment. I mean, the conservative media establishment. They lied to the donors, they lied to the base. They lied to everybody about how Romney was ahead and things were looking good in the Senate. The pollsters lied. Everybody lied. And so guys keep writing checks and find out the reason they went to Minnesota and Pennsylvania is because all of these people that were saying Romney was going to win Ohio, they knew he was not going to win Ohio. They knew all along.”
— Joe Scarborough: ‘Everybody Lied’ To GOP Donors | Mediaite
The GOP donors (hell, the GOP base) ought to begin wondering what else they’re lied to about by the conservative entertainment industry (Fox, Rush, etc.). I wonder if the donors / base are noting that the non-conservative media industry, and the Democratic Party itself, weren’t lying to anyone about their polls and projections.
The fact of the matter is that conservatives don’t want to hear anything outside of their safe bubble of tribal knowledge. They’re right and everyone else is wrong, and if anyone disagrees: TALK LOUDER. That’s what we’ve had to deal with for at least a couple decades. They lied to themselves.
