I think he left because he knew she was damaging his reputation because he had to have known how flawed she really was as a candidate. Maybe he thought he could turn her around but one cannot put common sense into someone with no sense. However, I am not sure I approve of him bashing her at this time either. To put so much emphasis on the Iowa caucus is foolish because from what I read ...they give out money to people to vote for them so how authentic is this? I think she sinks her own ship everytime she opens her mouth but she did make one important point in the last GOP debate...about Perry taking money from the pharmacutical firm. He claims it was only $5,000 but it was more like $50, 000. While I would like to see a female be president one day....she is not what I had in mind. She is no Hillary nor is Palin so we will have to wait until someome with common sense and intelligence comes along. There are many out there but they do not want to run.

Tell me now....don't any of you think that he might have been a 'plant' by the GOP to derail a 'wing nut' before she destroys their Party?

Her originalist view of the Constitution is enough, on its own to disqualify her. If originalists had been in power in the first half of the 20th century, the government never would have established an Air Corps, or the Air Force, or the Naval and Marine Corps aviation functions. The Constitution mentions specifically only the militia and the Navy as being within Congress's purview. So, we would have lost both WW! and WW2. In the immortal words of the great bugs bunny, "what a maroon".
