Willard said as much, yesterday or today. He said he knows the conservatives, who don't support him now, will support him in the general when he is the nominee. In other words, he said exactly what the repub establishment thinks - let the rabble rousers get it out of their systems, but when it's time, they'll fall in line. We'll see to it they have no other options. It was one of the most disrespectful things romney has said about conservatives. This is more formidable than David and Goliath. Take your vitamins, eat your greens... we will each need all the strength we can get.
Negative ads are all Romney has...his own record is not worth advertising, so the best he can do is tear down his opponents. If Romney is the nominee, I almost feel I would have to sit this election out.
As time goes by, I just could not vote for the SOB!
I also heard romney say that the base WILL support him in the general election. What arrogance!
There was an article in Red State in January about the religious leaders meeting. Romney’s religious team apparently were also arrogant. Here is an exert and note how they act like we will do whatever they say.
The problem for Team Romney is that the distrust of Romney is overwhelmingly about his record and shiftiness, but the Romney campaign fundamentally believes it is about his religion. When Team Romney concluded the pitch (read from an iPad seemingly without a passionate delivery) with an admonishment to not be an anti-Mormon bigot, it was game over. Several of the attendees felt like the Romney campaign was almost implying that they’d win without evangelicals and would expect everyone to line up when it was over even without Romney reaching out.
Note to Team Romney: when you are in a room full of Christian leaders like those who were in that room and who have all long been attacked by the left as bigots, it is unwise — no, it is damn foolish — to accuse them of being anti-Mormon bigots, something too many Romney supporters have descended to as the only possible explanation for
By Mittens saying that Conservatives will have to come around and support him...he is admitting that he isn’t one.
Typical of his patronizing and arrogant attitude..
