There you have it, endorse a 'moderate' like McCain, Romney and other losers. Why would any grassroots donor support losers like them?
They will coalesce early, and fine tune until the machine is ramped for ‘16 and ready to win.
Sounds so good but then there's reality; they can't win without conservatives and conservatives will not support a loser candidate.
The Tea Party will bicker between ourselves, fail to watch the clock, or coalesce EARLY enough.
Projection pure and simple. The Tea Party is a local phenomenon and is much more adept at that level. Your diatribe is insulting to the fine, intelligent and hardworking Tea Party organizers who know the ground game much better than any of your Beltway fakers.
This will, of course, make us LATE to the game, deprive us of pooled money and resources, which depletes both way too soon.
There's a solution to that. Fall in line behind Cruz!
You DO realize the Establishment does not need the Tea Party the way you seem to believe.
We grassroots voters have been formally and officially kicked to the curb in exchange for the Latino vote and the disenchanted Democrat/Independent & Womens vote.
Boehner has announced as much, and the RNC is moving with the Boehner crowd in the House together with the liberal senate, toward Amnesty.
The intent is to marginalize conservatives until they go Third Party. (Never to be heard from again.)
I intend to hang with Cruz, Lee, Paul, Gomert, and Jeff Sessions types to hear how we beat the odds in’16, and avoid splintering again, divided up between too many candidates.
Also, how willing will conservatives be to let their man move to the center to attract votes needed to win a nomination?
