Reading the liberals here on FR has convinced me that this republic is going to die from BLUE CANCER.

Perhaps that is so. In any event, it would be just as painful simply because the Dems will still be able to pull their perfected magician tricks with the gender and race cards - since they will be able to convince a significant number of Americans that Warren is a legit Native American. I just don’t see how any upper class Caucasian male in the GOP in 2016 has a snowball’s chance against Hillary or Fauxahontas.

Is the GOP afraid of actually running a REAL conservative?

Yes.

He has to be the number one, I’m-next-in-line cannon-fodder RINO.

The perfect archetype.

Quit trying to shove your urban New England leftist down our throats. Mitt Romney would make a wonderful democrat. As a Republican, he’s a disaster.

Santorum tied Romney here in Michigan so the rules committee got together and decided it for Romney in a 5/2 vote. Former attorney general and Romney supporter, Mike Cox said it was a dirty way to play.

A tie would have given both 14 delegates but likely ended Romney. However several thousand people voted for Bachmann, Cain, and Ron Paul. I suspect most of those votes would have gone to Santorum if people had accepted the fact that their candidates had effectively dropped out. Gingrich was still in the race but he did stand down in Michigan to avoid screwing things up.

I voted for Romney too, not because I liked him (which I didn't) but because he was the Republican candidate.

By the time Texas votes in the primary, the democrats and the media often have selected our candidate for us.

WE need to do something to fix the primary so it doesn't happen that way. Something like all states primary voting on the same day, no reporting till California polls close.
Other suggestions are welcome.

Yes.

Then it is time for them to take their place next to the Whigs in the history books.

Hopefully he won’t; he’s too establishment and the second time will be more internally divisive than last time, sending even more of the GOP to sit it out than the numbers that did in 2012.

“There are a bunch of idiot liberals in Missouri AND Kansas. Witness Claire McCaskill and Kathleen Sebelius.”

Missouri is also a state that has a GOP-controlled legislature and the majority of its US House members are Republicans. No state is perfect.

My point is that demographically (for both parties), Missouri is more representative of the US mainstream than perhaps Iowa or New Hampshire is.

Anything Mitt didn’t win was called a “beauty contest” that doesn’t mean anything.

“Statist Mitt Romney represents the death of the GOP.”

Take heart, Jim, Jeb Bush is rethinking about running. lol

The purpose of this is to keep moving the party left, to keep trying to strengthen any influence that Romney can have in attacking conservatives, shaping the party issues, and in his endorsement value.

Good. I look forward to the battle. As I most likely won’t be voting, it’ll be a lot more fun.
