Bay Buchanan quits TV punditry, takes online real estate class after Romney’s ‘brutal’ loss

[Playinghardball]

A former top aide to Mitt Romney says that she quit her career as a television pundit and began taking online real estate classes after the former Republican presidential nominee’s “brutal” loss to President Barack Obama.

Bay Buchanan, the sister of former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, told the Washington Examiner that Romney’s defeat was a sign that it was time for her to find a new career.

“It was so tough. It was brutal,” she explained. “I think it’s the toughest because we really expected to win it.”

Just two days after the election, Buchanan started an online real estate course and recently became a sales associate for McEnearney Associates Inc. in McLean, Va.

“Being somebody that they kind of know will be a real positive and, as you know, I’m just a charming person,” Buchanan insisted, adding that “compared to what I did in the past, this is an easy sell.”

24. Heh!

[Purveyor]

29. Oh jeez! {{{chuckle}}}

[Laurian]

4. Sounds like something from the Onion. Poor Bay.

She really expected to win?

[KamaAina]

14. A lot of the heavy-duty Kool-Aid drinkers did

Roger Ailes actually called a staff meeting at 5:00 on Election Day and told the Faux anchors, "If things don't go your way tonihgt, don't go out there looking like someone just ran over your dog."

[demwing]

5. "I’m just a charming person” Buchanan insisted

I SAID I'm a charming person. Don't you understand? CHARMING.

Staple it to your forehead, then get over here and buy this motherfucking house, damn it!

6. Dropping like flies in the Raid spray ... they are finding out that the "moral", aka "voting"

majority think they are batshit crazy. She should call up Orly Taitz to commiserate.

[rug]

7. She'll be the type of realtor who calls a toilet bowl a spa.

[hollysmom]

8. I just don't understand it,

why did they expect to win? didn't any of them ever talk to real people - or did they just talk to people at FOX?

[alsame]

19. I think they were counting on

Voter ID, other voter suppression tactics (long lines, reduced voting hours, etc) and shenanigans with electronic voting machines to win the election for them.

[TlalocW]

32. I think that they had something ready to go

And for whatever reason, they never pulled the trigger. Remember it wasn't just Ohio that Fox didn't want to believe had gone to Obama, but they were refusing to call Pennsylvania early on, saying it was too close. The repubs in Pennsylvania had promised it would go to Romney because of their voter suppression... I mean, voter id laws, which when you do that - on tape - gets you a visit from the Justice Department, which made them drop the requirements. I think they expected these voter id laws to push things for Romney, and when they got knocked down didn't have a good back-up plan that they could get implemented in time, which means they came up with a crappy one which was probably so both incredibly obvious and illegal, that the people with their fingers on the trigger never squeezed (not wanting to go to jail) - thus the disbelief coming from Fox.

9. Hilarious irony

The only way this idiot will do well in her new profession is if .... the economy picks up, via Obama.

What an asshole.

[hrmjustin]

10. I have to say I wish her well. It is hard when you think you are going to win and you don't.

[Brother Buzz]

11. Silly me, I fully expected this to be a fine Onion® piece

[malaise]

12. The part I love best

“It was so tough. It was brutal,” she explained. “I think it’s the toughest because we really expected to win it.”


That's why the Obama win was so sweet. They really thought they were going to win and they never had a chance.

[hollysmom]

17. do you ever think about

how much larger the win would have been if all those voter restrictions had not been in place? I think I heard they estimated about 400K more in Florida alone - that could have made a very decisive no questions asked by these idjits with a win a large as it would have been had all votes counted.

[malaise]

18. It was a very decisive victory

even without those who were terrorized by ReTHUGs trying to steal the elections

[CTyankee]

25. ohhhh, Bay, Bay, Bay...honey...suck it up...

oh, man, these fools are whiny babies...

[malaise]

26. To think that they thought they were going to win

Do you have any idea how much I am lovin' their whining

[CTyankee]

28. they are worse than even I expected them to be...folded like a bad hand of cards....

[madinmaryland]

13. Just goes to show that anyone can become a real estate agent!!

[madamesilverspurs]

15. If memory serves,

she also "helped" Tancredo's failed campaign. Like Pat, she's a racist. Maybe she'll try using real estate to segregate neighborhoods, wouldn't put it past her.

16. Would you buy a used house from this woman?

It's probably best that I don't know the politics of everybody I come into contact with every day.

20. All that plastic surgery gone to waste… n/t

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

22. Well, if she's as good at real estate as she was at punditry...

LOL
