30. "Blame the voters" is not a real winning strategy in a democracy, FYI. But that attitude sums up
precisely why Dennis never climbed much above 3% in the tallied vote: smug condescension never works very well as a campaign strategy. Doesn't do much as a reply on a message board, come to mention it.

But it sums up the attitude the vast majority of Democratic primary voters perceived was on display: "vote for us, or you're all a bunch of ignorant rubes!!!!"

Considering that, and on reflection, it's a wonder the candidate from Cleveland even managed to scratch his way up to the 3% line of minimum respectability in the primary vote. It truly is.
