Reply #97: At THIS point, I can only refer you to Harry Truman:

"I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."

Again, Blaming the Voters solves NOTHING.
It is a whiny recipe for further disaster
that AVOIDS the addressing REAL problem.

Motivating the Troops IS a requirement of Leadership.
If the troops are unmotivated,
it IS a direct Failure of Leadership.

It IS that simple.
