You understand that the party rules were changed in 2012. Only repeated, overwhelming victories by Cruz in primaries will prevent the moderates from nominating one of theirs.

“I’d love to watch Ted Cruz tear you apart in debate.”

Actually, it would be a good debate. Cruz is terrific on his feet and Romney is a good debater, so long as he is willing to go after his opponent. That’s why he lost the second debate against Obama. He wouldn’t attack Obama.

I think he will have no difficulty finding it in his heart to attack Cruz personally and nastily and dishonestly. The TEA party is the enemy. Not the Dems.

The one I've seen that seems to get more and more true is: Give Obama Power.

Oh, thank you, Mitt. What would we all do without you? Win elections?

Step three: GOP is destroyed
Step four: Profit!

Given that I would view the destruction of the Democrat and/or Republican parties as profitable, quite.

Throw Sarah Palin into your step 2 and Step 3 is assured.

The GOPe is going to start pushing conservatives to run in order to keep Cruz out. They are afraid of him. I wonder why. LOL I don’t guess he’s one of the good old boys in the pup tent. Rand is all over the map and he’ll pull liberaltarians who are not Democrats from GOPe. So far, just one conservative, right?

With the House and the Senate out of Democrat hands, we are comfortably positioned. IMHO, this would be a fine opportunity to send a message to the GOP if they think they’re going to ram another RINO down our throats. There’s no way I’m voting for Romney, or Bush, or Christie.

Ted Cruz will not run outside of GOP.
Alan West could, but as independent will get less than 3% votes nationwide.

I agree. If Mitt jumps in he will suck up all the money from the major donors. It will make it very hard for other candidates to raise money especially Ted Cruz. This stuff happens every 4 years. Its always some moderate with the bug bucks that gets nominated and/or gets elected President. Government gets larger and we never seem to get any of our personal freedoms back.

The only thing I’ll say for Dubya is he did cut taxes to the point that it made a difference for the average Joe.

GOPe rams nothing. They support just ONE RINO.

Then the conservatives fight among themselves, divide the votes and clear the path for the RINO.

Romney was having a hard time crossing 30% of votes.
The other 70% was being divided among conservatives.
Without unity, conservatives can’t win.

Failed candidate to the rescue?? Am I reading that right? Good God! How demented can Romney be to think he can do anything to “help” the Repubs? Seriously? DOH! Especially after the O-care fiasco which will hang him out to dry. Sheeez
