Here comes the triangulation. You’d better vote for the R again, or you’re really voting for Hillary!
What this highlights is that conservatives should stop trashing each other or we’re gonna end up with a candidate such as Christie.
Yep. Remember the many, many FReepers who declared just as passionately and certainly that they'd never vote for Romney ... were here seven or eight months later declaring that they were going to vote for Romney because ... because ... because ... because ....
... because of blind, pure Obama hysteria.
The most frustrating was the unicorn plea that they were voting "against" Obama, not "for" Romney.
The function of voting "against" is illusion. It's binary, like a light switch, on or off. Your vote is only ever for something. Had Romney won, the buyer's remorse would have been horrific.
Colonel, what are the odds, you think, of Christie or some like-minded left Republican getting the official GOP nod? Putting us here with a Christie type in October of 2016, against a Hillary or worse? I saw someone today proposed Gerry Brown, ol' Moonbeam, as presidential!
